Andrew Haviland is a jewelry designer and maker of works inspired by the shore and ocean. Andrew describes his studio in Providence, Rhode Island as "A little like a turn-of-the-century jeweler’s studio and a lot like a weird coastal antique shop. Vintage maps, old wood furniture, and natural findings take precedence over any shiny new tools. My collection of relics is carefully curated and displayed, almost mimicking the style of a natural history museum. Although I spend numerous hours inside my studio, I enjoy working outside in the woods or by the sea."
