About

Handcrafted artisan jewelry that moves with who you are.

You are extraordinary — and you rarely stop long enough to realize it. You wear so many hats: mother, daughter, professional, artist, dreamer. Your jewelry should be bold enough to match all of it.

Karla Hackman Designs creates contemporary silver and gold jewelry that lets you be exactly, unapologetically you.

Textured. Mixed-metal. Alive with character. Like the handmade bag you discovered in a market in Italy or the antique piece you found at your favorite consignment store — my jewelry is made with a deliberate, hand-created process so you have those this is me pieces that you reach for again and again.

Whether you're drawn to the organic beauty of the natural world or the bold geometry of sculptural design, your jewelry should carry your energy — your soft side and your fierce, feminine strength, and everything in between.

Karla Hackman Designs creates jewelry for the gorgeous, artistic, sophisticated, playful you.

Shop the collection — and be you.

About Karla

I am a storyteller, a listener, an artist, and an alchemist. From my studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I breathe life into sculptural stories for you to wear into the world.

I've been making jewelry as a full-time artist since 2013. My work integrates traditional fabrication techniques — piercing, cutting, sinking, and chasing — with wax-carved and cast elements, and occasionally cast organics, to create pieces that are as tactile as they are beautiful.

I work in sterling and fine silver and 14–24 karat gold, hand-selecting each gemstone to complement the design and weave the story of the piece. Every surface is finished with organic texture and patina — so what you wear isn't just jewelry. It's a feeling.
