Sydney Lynch

Sydney Lynch


Sydney Lynch grew up with the curiosity of many young children. Her interest was captured by her grandmother's collection of costume jewelry, which she kept in an array of tiny boxes. Since then, she has collected many objects that have intrigued her over the years. From shells to rusted metal, these objects inspire Sydney's creative side. During college, Sydney was further inspired when she worked on a Navajo reservation. There she was surrounded by beautiful landscapes and the open sky, and she met silversmiths who gave her the idea to start making her own jewelry.

Sydney states, "Working with the materials is the most exciting part of the process for me. Simply put, I like making things. In my one of a kind pieces, I exercise my love of color, incorporating a wide range of colored stones in the designs. Another body of work focuses on sterling, sometimes oxidized, combined with high karat gold. Many of my designs are abstract, leaving the wearer open to finding their own personal, intuitive relationship with the piece."
