architect of the wild

Sculptural jewelry designed in Austin.

DISCOVER YOUR SYMBOL

Architect of the Wild is Cristen René's newest body of work. The culmination of twenty-five years spent designing, making, traveling, mothering, experimenting and refining a visual language entirely her own.
Each design carries a symbolic intention. Made to be collected, layered and lived in.

Jewelry is not the destination.
It is the doorway.

Pieces you reach for when you're choosing yourself, even if no one else understands the decision.
