THE MAKER:

Deep in the wild heart of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, where mist clings to ancient trees and fireflies dance like tiny stars, Athena Bandit conjures treasures from silver and flame. Born under the glittering lights of Hollywood but drawn to the untamed beauty of the forest, she now calls this enchanted land home—a place where dreams take shape, and the rustling leaves whisper secrets to those who listen.

She shares her woodland realm with her wildly talented illustrator husband and two spellbinding children, who roam the hidden corners of the forest, gathering wild berries, discovering secret caves, and weaving stories into the wind. Their world is one of wonder, where creativity runs like a river and everyday life feels like an unfolding fairytale.

Athena first learned the ancient alchemy of metal and fire at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Now, she spends her days pulling whispers of inspiration from the ether, forging them into delicate yet powerful adornments. To her, jewelry is more than decoration—it is magic, a spark of transformation, a piece of the universe made wearable. Every talisman she creates carries a story, waiting to become part of yours.

Athena creates collections that combine real botanical impressions, hand sawn details, and the occasional addition of semi precious stones. Her work incorporates brass and sterling silver and is meant to be every day effortlessly wearable.
