About

Handcrafted Jewelry And Nature and Wildlife Photography
by Vermont Artisan Dorothea Joy Alter

Dorothea Alter

I am a University of Vermont graduate,  a native Vermonter and mother of 3.  I spend time outside every day and in all seasons.  I love to be in the woods, or on mountain tops, and jumping in rivers.  That passion is translated into my jewelry, with nature inspired unique pieces.

 All my jewelry pieces are made with precious metals and meticulously chosen natural gemstones and freshwater pearls.  I look for rare stones and cuts and invest time and money thoughtfully in every single piece.

Another passion I have is nature and wildlife photography.  An upcoming feature will be prints of my photos.  I’ve spent time with barred owls, and juvenile fox cubs and many other beautiful creatures.

Thank you for stopping by!  I am adding new pieces weekly.  Please stop by again soon!
