A Final Curation

A final curation of retiring styles. These pieces are leaving the studio to make space for new work. Each one hand-sculpted, each one worth keeping.

The work gets to be itself.
Studio Note

For a decade, GRAMMAR has been led by its values. But a recent journey to Copenhagen shifted that lens. Exploring the independent jewelry studios of Denmark reminded me that while ethics are my floor, they no longer need to be my ceiling.

GRAMMAR is moving into a chapter where the work gets to be itself. Reclaiming the joy of the process and the beauty of the object, free from cultural weight. The heart remains. The design now takes flight.

Worn and Kept.

I own several pieces of GRAMMAR jewelry both earrings and necklaces. My favorite pieces to wear are my Linda earrings. They are so light weight and the subtle curves are super flattering. Each piece I have purchased is so beautifully made down to every detail and I don't think folks appreciate how hard that is to achieve in clay!

I have four Grammar pieces, and each of them is a statement! My Marian Dangles are far and away my favorite. I'm an architectural designer, and the Yamasaki inspiration is the best. People often notice these earrings, and comment on their clean lines. Sarah's craftsmanship is excellent, her pieces are hand crafted. She insists on the integrity and value of her own labor and creative effort, and its beautiful results. A big fan!

My most-often worn jewelry is from GRAMMAR. It is both architectural and interesting, and simple and timeless. GRAMMAR pieces go with anything, and are so lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Erin M., Ferndale

I own and have gifted several GRAMMAR pieces and receive lots of compliments on them! The pieces are lightweight and can be dressed up or down. They're also distinctive looking, but can be paired with almost anything. The available colors also match lots! Pieces are very high quality!

Stephanie J., Phoenix

GRAMMAR has become my go-to place to buy jewelry! I absolutely love the modern yet classic designs and I always get compliments on them. The pieces are gorgeous and I have amassed a collection (not pictured, the items I have gifted to others or the necklace my 10-year-old stole from me!). I also had great customer service with the owner when I lost a beloved earring! 5-stars all around.

I ADORE GRAMMAR jewelry. On top of the fact that the earrings are literally the only ones that don’t cause a massive allergic reaction on my sensitive skin, the pieces are so beautiful and I love the elegant lines. The pieces I have have become foundational for my entire wardrobe! I’m always so excited to gush about GRAMMAR when people ask about my jewelry, because that’s how I learned about it too!! :)

Sarah B., Lake Orion

You know I love my Grammar pieces when they get their own section of my jewelry box. Each piece is lightweight, durable, and colors that are right up my alley. Truly some of my absolute favorite gifts I've ever received.

Dana S., State College

I purchased a pair of jacket earrings from GRAMMAR at a holiday pop up and Sarah was so helpful! She encouraged me to try different styles on and play with the colors and shapes. When I purchased a pair, she gave me her card and told me to reach out if there were ever any issues or if any part broke, which was unexpected and very kind! Would definitely purchase more jewelry from this shop!

GRAMMAR jewelry should come with a warning label . . . it can be addictive! What started as a thoughtful Mother's Day gift from my partner became an artistic and expanding collection of beautiful art displayed in my closet and on my body daily. GRAMMAR jewelry is effortless and stylish. My friends and family have also universally loved these pieces as gifts! Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your talents with the world!

Mandy D., Lansing

I've worn GRAMMAR for 5+ year and am obsessed. I've purchased several pairs of jewelry and necklaces for myself and as gifts. I wear GRAMMAR almost daily and get compliments on my pieces each time. I've never had anything chip or break (despite dropping my jewelry multiple times over the years), and the small chain repairs I've needed due to constant wear have been done quickly and beautifully by Sarah.
