Welcome.

I am Addison Rae Mendes, a jeweler, designer and artist based in Rhode Island. My love for jewelry began in early childhood. I would make it out of anything I could get my hands on.

In 2023, I took on metal-smithing— a decision that transformed my work and perspective on jewelry. Working primarily with silver and gold, I’ve been able to elevate my designs, turning natural material into wearable sculpture.

The tactile element of making jewelry is incredibly rewarding, and I love using my hands to bring my ideas to life. The time and effort put into my work is an investment in myself and something I am proud of.

My art is cut from the fabric of my human experience. I am grateful to have found my purpose and honored to share a piece of you with you.
