The Archive | A Gallery of One-of-a-Kind Handmade Jewelry

Welcome to the Mettle by Abby Archive, a collection of previously sold handmade jewelry designed and crafted by metalsmith Abby Meadows in Woodstock, Georgia.

Every piece shown here has found its home and is no longer available for purchase. Together, these designs offer a look at my past work, from natural gemstone rings and distinctive earrings to handcrafted necklaces, bracelets, and one-of-a-kind pieces in solid 14k gold and Argentium sterling silver.

Made Once. Remembered Always.

Much of my jewelry begins with a particular gemstone—its color, shape, inclusions, or something unexpected that catches my eye. I design around the individual character of the stone, creating pieces that are meant to exist only once.

This archive is a growing record of those designs, the materials I've explored, and the ideas that have come to life at my workbench.

Find Inspiration for Something New

See something you love? Although the original piece has sold, it might inspire an entirely new design.

I welcome custom jewelry inquiries, whether you're drawn to a particular gemstone, setting, texture, or overall style. I don't recreate one-of-a-kind pieces exactly, but I'm happy to explore something with a similar spirit, made especially for you.
