Lori Francescutti

Heartmade + Handmade

My work is a meditation on the grounding elements that come together to create a piece of hand-forged jewellery. Featuring painterly gemstones in whimsical yet bold designs crafted in silver and gold. Made with heart and hands in Toronto, Canada by Lori Francescutti.

About Lori

Lori Francescutti’s experimentation with metal and stones is informed by her BFA in Drawing and Painting from the Ontario College of Art & Design. The influence of her zazen meditation practice penetrates her work and life. A lover of sun and sea, Lori lives in places which contrast these elements, between the urban jungle of Toronto and the cold and rugged cliffs of Haliburton, Ontario at the foot of Algonquin Provincial Park.

Lori is a member of Craft Ontario and SNAG: Society of North American Goldsmiths.

Artist Statement

I am an oil painter turned goldsmith, a lover of sun, sea and rugged cliff top landscapes. My work is inspired by the myriad of textures found in nature, ancient talismans and historic relics, travelling to out of the way places, and the incredible gemstones I work with to create each piece.
