Welcome to the home of the Wisconsin  Birch Bark Jewelry, created by Metalsmith Liz.  

---

​Casual Ore Formal is a jewelry design and instructional company* that presents the works of Metalsmith Liz.
 
Our Head Metalsmith specializes in transforming actual Wisconsin birch bark into fine art jewelry.  The bark is cast into metal, and then the work is typically highlighted with yellow gold pieces and set with a variety of colored Sapphires. These transformative steps forever immortalized the organic material into metal. Liz enjoys the complexity of this process, and is passionate about her craftsmanship. It can be said that her original handmade jeweler is an actual piece of Wisconsin, “Made in WI.”
 
Conversely, at Casual Ore Formal, Metalsmith Liz also likes to work with the simplicity of shape bringing you wardrobe staples, through lines such as Simply Silver and Thrive. Check out these economically priced jewelry options in our Artisan Forge Studios’ Gallery.
