Autumn Hampshire

Founder & Designer of Autumn Designs                                     
Est. 2000

Located along the stunning coast of York, Maine, I am the designer and creator behind Autumn Designs, a collection of unique, handcrafted jewelry inspired by the natural beauty of my surroundings. My journey as a jewelry designer began in high school and grew into a lifelong passion, eventually leading me to earn my Graduate Gemologist degree from GIA (Gemological Institute of America.)

With over two decades of industry experience, I am committed to crafting each piece with the utmost care and precision. I believe there is a soul in things made by hand. Unlike machine-stamped pieces that roll off an assembly line by the thousands, my jewelry is born from a quiet process of patience. This isn't just manufacturing; it’s a preservation of artistry, resulting in jewelry that carries an energy and a weight that mass-production can never simulate. By utilizing premium materials—including sterling silver, 14k gold, and hand-selected gemstones—I create lasting, meaningful pieces designed to be as enduring as the Maine coastline itself.

Autumn Designs jewelry is sold at the following retail locations:

Bell Farm Shops (York, ME)  

York Harbor Inn (York, ME) 

The Cliffhouse (Cape Neddick, ME) 

Alchemy Jewelry and Gifts (Ogunquit, ME) 

Blue Door Gallery (York, ME)
