Christine Peters Jewelry
Handcrafted stories in metal, stone, and texture
Inspired by nature, created by hand.
I’m Christine Peters, a jewelry artist living and working in Damariscotta, Maine. I create botanical, nature-inspired jewelry—pieces that echo the textures of seedpods, driftwood, roots, and wind-shaped leaves.
My work is grounded in traditional metalsmithing, but guided by curiosity and material play. Every piece begins with a spark: an image, a season, a walk with my dog. From there, I follow where form and texture lead me.
Where it begins
My day often starts with a walk through the field or down to the shore. Patterns in bark, tiny seed heads, and driftwood inspire shapes I later sketch or carve in wax.

Work by hand
I work primarily in fine silver, sterling silver, and gold, using time-honored fabrication techniques. Many pieces incorporate hand-carved textures, fused surfaces, or found objects cast in metal.
Botanical beauty, distilled
Whether it's a dandelion brooch or a twig-textured ring, each piece is meant to feel like a treasure found on a walk—a memory you can wear.
“Jewelry is personal—an extension of memory, story, and self.
Each piece I make is one-of-a-kind, crafted with care, by hand.”
Artistic roots
I studied sculpture at Boston University and later trained in metals at the Maine College of Art, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Metalwerx, and with master jewelers. I’ve been making jewelry professionally since 1996.
I now work from my home studio, surrounded by woods and coastal light, with my studio pup Coal at my side.
