Handmade Fine Jewelry
Recycled sterling silver + gold, conflict-free diamonds, and hand-cut inlaid stone.
Somewhere, in some time before, the mountains whispered, the desert sand illuminated the wind and the stars asked if I wanted a fire.
About the Maker
Hillary grew up in the desert Southwest of Arizona and developed a deep love for what the desert speaks.
Her work is not a direct re-telling of the world she witnessed, but an emotional reflection of her experiences, realizations, and self-discovery within it.
Hillary’s work spans time and style, and takes on an architectural, modern twist with the inlay magic of the desert and the classic beauty of earlier modern culture.
Self-taught in jewelry, Hillary’s artistry is a constant evolution and expression of focus, and encompasses a voice of duality, communicated through each piece.
Hillary is a metalsmith and lapidary artist, creating jewelry that is completely handmade. All Hillary West jewelry uses recycled metals, conflict-free diamonds, and hand-cut inlaid stone.
“Hillary is gifted in reading a person’s spirit and creating a piece of art that fits into her journey in the most magical ways. The bracelet Hillary created for me tells the story of serendipity that weaves its way through generations. She’s an exceptional artist and an extraordinary woman.”

“Hillary is a true master of her craft. I worked with her to create a piece of jewelry for my mom’s birthday. She was responsive to all my questions and needs and ultimately translated my vague ideas into something more gorgeous and suited to my mom than I ever could have imagined. I’ve since worked with her to create pieces for me and my sister and I already want more. Thanks
