My story

I started making jewelry when I was ten—and I’ve never really stopped. My work is shaped by the places I love, from the shells, seaweed, and organic forms I discover while beachcombing to the art, architecture, and energy of nearby Boston. My travels are another constant source of inspiration, introducing me to new colors, textures, histories, and ways of creating.

Creativity runs through my family. My grandmother was an artist and remains one of my greatest inspirations. My dad is both an artist and a respected figure in the art world whose work championing overlooked artists taught me to recognize beauty and possibility in things others might pass by. My mom also worked in the art world, my sisters are artists, and now I get to watch that same creative spirit emerge in my three daughters.

To deepen my craft, I studied lost-wax casting at the Rhode Island School of Design. Some pieces begin as forms I carve by hand in wax; others begin with shells, vines, seaweed, and other found objects whose natural textures and imperfections are preserved through casting.

I also collect vintage jewelry components and old beads, recycling and reimagining them into one-of-a-kind designs. I especially love collaborating with customers on personalized pieces, including custom birthstone necklaces that color-block meaningful stones in unexpected ways.

Whether carved from wax, cast from nature, collected from the past, or created especially for its wearer, every FALK piece is made with intention—bold, distinctive jewelry designed to be worn, loved, and passed on.
