Today we’d like to introduce you to Megan Thorne.
Founded in 2007 by owner and designer Megan, Megan Thorne Fine Jewels creations are instantly recognizable, and her uniquely fluid and feminine style harkens inspiration from her first love of fashion – delicate laces, vibrant joyful prints, and fine textile weaves.
An artist and an artisan, she has an in-house studio staffed with a team of personally-trained jewelers, yet even with a team, she touches every piece, designing, drawing, fabricating, casting, setting, and finishing jewels. It is this intimacy with her craft and materials that brings forth the integrity of every piece and the intricacy of her designs. And it is this attention to detail, design and workmanship that instantly transforms a ring or necklace into an heirloom piece, one that will travel through generations with timeless elegance.
Before she began setting diamonds and rubies, she studied apparel design in college, following her love of fashion to a fine lingerie brand where she honed her creative eye as assistant designer.
After exercising her talents on ribbons and lace, she turned to gold and silver, discovered metalsmithing, and never looked back.
As Megan Thorne Fine Jewels grew in notoriety, discerning modern brides flocked to her, requesting her quintessential style for their wedding pieces. Her bridal collection has emerged as the go-to for those seeking a unique, tailored or entirely bespoke engagement and wedding jewelry, and she enjoys connecting with every couple as their personal stories shape the design of their rings.
The wearers of Megan Thorne Fine Jewels ultimately identify with the pieces as their jewelry.
Editors have taken note of her creations, too, and her jewelry has been featured in such fashion and lifestyle publications as Vogue, Brides, The Knot, and Lucky, as well as industry publications like InDesign, JCK, and Couture International Jeweler.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Establishing an identifiable brand look is important, but I sometimes grapple with aesthetic burnout and feel like really shaking things up.
Please tell us about Megan Thorne Fine Jewels.
Each piece in the Megan Thorne collection is handcrafted in our Fort Worth studio using recycled 18K gold and ethically sourced diamonds and gemstones.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
