Jenny Kolcun is a metalsmith and ceramicist working in San Rafael, California. Under the name Agate & Ember, she makes one-of-a-kind jewelry and functional ceramics from stone, metal, clay, and objects gathered from beaches and forests.

Drawing upon her background in graphic and product design, everything is considered — form, texture, what makes a pebble or fallen leaf worth keeping. Each piece is a small, quiet pleasure made to be lived with. If you've ever picked up a stone and put it in your pocket — you already understand.
