Bronwen Lodato has been making jewelry for as long as she can remember. Her inspiration stems from a life lived in motion; An avid world-traveler, outdoor adventure has always been at the core of her identity. While instructing backcountry expeditions for the Outward Bound School, she began fielding requests from her co-instructors for jewelry that was strong enough to withstand the rigors of the outdoors while still delicate enough to feel feminine and beautiful underneath the grit of wilderness living. With a little digging in the repair room at basecamp and discovering Gore-Tex thread, she was able to outfit many ladies in the first iterations of Bronwen Jewelry In 2008, Bronwen Jewelry brand was launched and has been growing ever since as a leader in "Active Artisan Jewelry".
