This web site is the online presence of Magpie Jewelry and Metals Studio LLC. We hope it gives you a taste of what our studio is and what we have to offer. This site is a portfolio not a catalog. We may or may not have any particular piece you see here as the images represent over two decades of work.
I started making jewelry professionally after graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1985. I continued my education by working in a custom jewelry store for the next fifteen years. In the year 2000 I was blessed with the opportunity to open Magpie Jewelry and Metals Studio with my friends Kristen Fogtman-Faust and Terese Millmann.
We are happy to represent a number of fine artist and jewelers. This enables us to offer a much wider selection of jewelry, objects and artwork than we otherwise could. Ann Marie has been doing art fairs for over 20 years. She feels upon close examination, everyday life can be extraordinary. It's the hidden humor, duality, and mischief in daily life that inspires her sculptural jewelry, infusing it with surprise.

I needed a custom wedding band and they knocked it out of the park! I got a beautiful saffire band that is stunning! Highly recommend them! You can see how the band "clicks" under the engagement band. I didn't want to solder together and this works perfect!

Highly recommended. I purchased a custom engraved gold wedding band from Chris at Magpie and had a wonderful experience. I gave him an idea of what I wanted (theme of the ring, images I liked) and he crafted them into a composition that spoke well in ring form. He was kind and seemed to care a great deal. There was an issue with the order of the band from the gold supplier, but Chris stepped in and made it right. Chris does excellent work and I would definitely recommend Magpie to a friend. Plus the shop dog is cool.

I love Magpie, cute shop, friendly team and they do amazing work. They replaced a broken prong and made this sentimental item (my mom’s belt buckle) look new again.

I've had two custom jewelry pieces made with two different artisans here, and couldn't be more pleased. I brought in gemstones we had purchased in Sri Lanka, and I had them mounted to give as gifts for the Chief of Staff. She gets lots of compliments, they're both original works of art, the craftsmanship is excellent, the turnaround time was reasonable (a few weeks), the pricing moderate and fair. Terri and Chris have rather different styles, I can't recommend one over the other. I liked the work so much, I just dropped off two more jobs.

I have never left a review before, but Magpie is WONDERFUL! Cute shop and expert jewelers. I went in today after breaking my engagement ring and they were so helpful, attentive ,and quick --- definitely will be back, but hopefully to buy something and not fixing broken jewelry. Thanks Magpie!
