Blue Rain Gallery spent the afternoon in Belle Brooke Barer’s Santa Fe studio, capturing photos and witnessing her creative world unfold. A space where metal, philosophy, and intention converge. We are proud to showcase her work, especially as the holiday season approaches, when meaningful, handcrafted gifts matter more than ever.
At the foundation of Belle’s jewelry is the circle - a symbol she describes as “the beginning and the end, the empty and the full.” Her signature circular filigree matrix is the core of many designs, a delicate web framed by clean metal edges. Each piece becomes a modern talisman, a reminder of our connection to the earth, the universe, and each other.
Belle is a classically trained goldsmith who builds every piece using traditional hand techniques. No CAD, no digital shortcuts. Just tools, wire, tubing, and time-honored methods. All metals are 100% recycled, and gemstones are ethically sourced, grounding her work in both craftsmanship and responsibility.
Her collection flows between one-of-a-kind pieces made entirely by hand, and small-batch production work where cast frames are paired with her signature hand-formed filigree. Even in repetition, no two pieces are the same, each one carries its own fingerprint.
During our visit, the studio felt alive with light and intention. Jewelry pieces reflected subtle glimmers, tools were worn smooth from years of use, and the filigree patterns revealed themselves as tiny universes of their own. Watching Belle work emphasized the quiet power of creating something lasting and tangible in a digital world.
As the holidays approach, Blue Rain Gallery is thrilled to offer Belle Brooke’s jewelry - gifts that are heartfelt, symbolic, and entirely handcrafted. Each piece is a keepsake meant to be treasured for a lifetime.
