A little Bio
Hello, my name is Kristen Nivala and I am the sole creator/designer/maker of Fade Into The Abstract. I am a self-taught jeweler, and began my business back in 2010. My jewelry line draws inspiration mostly from nature with an emphasis on the textures and movements of water. I love my jewelry to feel both cosmic and grounded at the same time, with an imperfect organic quality to it.
I love to bring natural gemstones that have been ethically and sustainably sourced; creating in small and thoughtful batches that feel special and one of a kind.
I am a PNW native and have bounced around the country but I am happy to be living back where I was born in Tacoma, Washington with my two kiddos and husband.
