Hi, I’m Brynn Kanikula.
I’ve always believed that every stone carries a story. For years, I built my career in business, but my heart kept pulling me back to creativity — to the freedom of making, the beauty of color, and the calm of nature.
Lakelore Jewelry was born from my love of water and stone, from evenings spent chasing sunsets, traveling to new places, and finding treasures along the shoreline. Each piece I create begins with a stone shaped by nature, hand picked for its character, then transformed into jewelry that carries a sense of place, memory, and meaning.
To me, jewelry is more than adornment. It’s a way to connect with the world around us and carry a piece of its story wherever life takes us.
Every piece of Lakelore Jewelry begins long before it becomes something you can wear. It starts in the quiet moments by the water, hands in the sand, searching for the stones that seem to choose me as much as I choose them.
My Approach
Handpicked IN Nature
Each stone is discovered with care — in water, dirt, or sand — revealed at just the right time. Some call it selection, but I’ve always felt it’s more like the stones reveal their beauty when they’re ready to be seen.
Cleansed & Considered
With a light scrub and careful eye, I study every detail: weight, texture, color, strength, imperfections. This is when I begin to understand its character — its history, its story, its potential.
A Transformation
Over several weeks, each stone undergoes a thoughtful and delicate treatment. It’s a process of patience and respect, one that prepares it for longevity while uncovering its purest, most natural beauty. During this time, I also prepare the way it will be carried — as a pendant, a strand, or a centerpiece.
The Artist’s Touch
Finally, comes the moment where art meets story. Guided by what the stone whispers and shaped by my own creative vision, each piece finds its balance — ready to be worn and united with its wearer.
