Andrea Dunham

Andrea Dunham, a former magazine creative, now a Block Island goldsmith, founded A.L.Dunham Fine Jewelry to nourish her fascination with adornment as a universal human expression. Shifting her visual storytelling from page to precious metal, she creates one-of-a-kind pieces in ethically mined high karat gold, hand-milled in her New York and Block Island studios-alongside ethically sourced, hand-selected gems and natural materials. Drawing inspiration from psychology, cross-cultural traditions, ancient techniques, and her desire to one day be draped in gold and entombed like a Queen, Andrea designs luxury talismans for iconoclasts and baller bad-asses who aren't afraid to change their life course when intuition strikes.

Nothing stirs the soul quite like the buttery glow of gold on skin! A recovering magazine creative director and designer, Andrea Dunham pivoted to metals in 2023 to nourish a lifelong fascination with jewelry — and never looked back. Drawing from ancient goldsmithing traditions across cultures and centuries, she hand-fabricates talismanic heirlooms in high-karat gold with bold precious gems and vintage carved stones chosen for the emotions they excite. Each piece is unique; custom commissions are encouraged. Guided by three principles — singular, precious, powerful — her work is made for women who buy jewelry for themselves: the independent, the courageous, the unapologetically self-adoring. Every piece is designed to be worn, felt, and cherished for a lifetime and beyond.
