About the Atelier
nathaniel owens
I started fabricating silver jewelry when I was 16 in my Advanced Placement art class at Tandem Friends High School and quickly took to the medium. I continued to hone my craft as an apprentice of another alumni, Jason McLeod, during and after my time at university.
Trust. Transparency. Expertise. Beauty. Love.
In 2015, I dropped out of my engineering program at Colorado State University to pursue my love of jewelry design. I pivoted not because I disliked school, but rather because I needed to follow my heart — I consider myself one of the lucky few who found his purpose early on. I love learning so much, though, that I spend most of my free time studying my industry, working towards becoming a gemologist and learning new techniques.
Atelier Owens is the culmination of all that curiosity, it’s a venue of style and craft, and I am very excited to welcome everyone into my world. Atelier Owens is a place of Love. Love for jewelry, but also love for humans and the bijoux that makes life so beautiful.
