About Hilary

 

Hilary Finck Jewelry appeals to collectors who have a love for individuality and an eye for innovative design. 

From her bright San Francisco studio, Hilary creates one-of-a-kind and small batch pieces using traditional metalsmithing techniques, unique stones, and precious metals. A designer and maker for over two decades, her distinctive style is built upon perpetual exploration and development.

Hilary celebrates originality. Natural gemstones and hand-crafted production ensure no two pieces are ever alike, and she combines color, texture, form, and detail to unconventional, yet sophisticated, effect. 

Hilary has developed a distinct and engaging style. Her Captured and Hand Hammered collections are organic in nature and unique in design, and each piece of her handmade jewelry is a future heirloom. 

With several years of studies and practice in the Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design program at Colorado State University, Hilary has built upon her training with a career-long exploration of craft and technique.

An active figure in the jewelry community, Hilary has taught jewelry and metalsmithing classes at the Palo Alto Art Center in California and the Silvermine Art Center in Connecticut. Hilary was President of the Metal Arts Guild from 2021-2023, helping to champion and support Bay Area metal artists and jewelers.
