Bird of Virtue

"Much of my work is inspired by geometric elements found in my everyday life – in architecture, nature, travel, the urban landscape. I grew up near Chicago, a city full of fabulous architecture. Born into a family of makers and craftsman, I would be hard pressed to say that hasn't influenced my design sensibility. Throughout my work, you'll see references to the Mid-Century & Scandinavian aesthetic I was brought up to know & love. My personal style has always been one of simplicity, and I believe that jewelry shouldn’t overpower a person, but rather, should complement one’s natural confidence and style. This is what I strive for with every one of my designs. 

While I'm a California girl now, I'm still tied to my Midwestern roots. I am proud to say the solid hardwoods I use in my pieces are sourced from USA forests – Minnesota & Wisconsin to be exact." - Linnea Oliver, designer/artist of Bird of Virtue
