Madeleine T
Gold & Platinumsmith
Madeleine is a passionate metalsmith with a background in English Literature and Visual Arts from the University of Kansas, where she also minored in metalsmithing and jewelry making. Her creative journey began in an unexpected place—behind the espresso bar at KU Dining Services—where she developed a love for latte art and the meditative nature of hands-on work. That same appreciation for craft led her to knock on doors across Lawrence, KS in search of a jewelry apprenticeship, eventually landing her first role in the fine jewelry world.
Craving a new landscape, Madeleine moved to Seattle and took a role at the Capitol Hill Starbucks Roastery, but her heart remained with jewelry. Not long after, she joined another local jewelry brand, where she continued to refine her technique and aesthetic. Now at Green Lake Jewelry Works, Madeleine is excited to keep growing as a metalsmith. Deeply inspired by the intricate, fleeting, and enduring beauty of nature—particularly flowers, insects, and the delicate forms found in the wild—she brings a thoughtful, artful perspective to each piece she touches.
