Judith Rachel Jewelry

“I make beautiful, unusual jewelry for beautiful, unusual people.”

The mystical designs of Judith Rachel Jewelry, designed and made by Judith Hoetker, draw from an eclectic and unexpected array of inspirations: the clawed hook of a sparrow foot, a biting snake, an evil bunny. Merging her impeccable metalsmithing skills with naturalist motifs and carefully-selected colored gemstones, Hoetker’s jewelry brings a sense of magic to the everyday. 

Hoetker studied at Pratt Institute and has been working as a bench jeweler and jewelry designer in New York City for over 25 years. Hoetker is currently based in Brooklyn, NY, where she lives with her husband and cat.
