Laura Morgan is an independent jewelry designer and metalsmith based in Austin, Texas. Her love of art and design began at a young age when trips to the library would mean hours with architecture and landscape design books. She has also been a painter since first taking classes at the age of seven.

Laura’s love of travel pushed her towards a career in tourism and event management. While attending North Carolina State University and studying abroad in Australia, she found herself in courses such as graphic and landscape design, and then even gemstone cutting, cabachoning, silversmithing and ceramics. She never guessed that these experiences would all come together in the form of a new career just a few years later.

Laura’s varied art, design and fine craft influences are apparent in the characteristic sculptural details, hand-wrought textures and unique composition of Laura Morgan Designs jewelry. Her designs are further inspired by both an appreciation of nature and her affinity for travel. These elements translate into organic shapes and a globally-inspired color pallet. Laura continues to be inspired by the sense of movement, the spirit of a favorite place or the pure emotion that can be captured through the careful and creative use of metal and stone.

No matter where travels take her or what inspiration is found next, Laura continues to design beautifully classic and collectible Laura Morgan Designs jewelry through which she shares both a story and a passion with the wearer.
