Hello! I am Kendra Brockmann, the owner and designer of The Bent Alkhemist. I spend my days in my Iowa studio, creating one of a kind jewelry that will inspire love and peace within yourself. Each piece that leaves my studio is filled with intention and meaning.
I hand fabricate my jewelry using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as torch soldering, saw piercing, hollow form construction and hand forging. I am inspired by ancient jewelry techniques, artifacts and their history as well as designs found in nature.
I am constantly learning new skills and new ways of working with metal, forever expanding my knowledge and love of jewelry.
The Bent Alkhemist jewelry is made to be transformed by each person who wears it, as I believe that each individual brings their own sense of rhythm, movement, and style to the pieces they choose to wear.
I thank you in advance for supporting individual artisans that create handmade products. My hope is that you will enjoy wearing my art as much as I enjoyed creating it.
Thanks for visiting!
