About

Hi, I’m Laura.

I create handcrafted jewelry and accessories for people who disappear into books and wish they didn't have to return to reality.

A Strange Bird Co was born out of a love for stories that linger—fantasy worlds, quiet magic, complicated characters, and the kind of books that live rent-free in your head long after the last page. Every piece here is designed to feel intentional, a little celestial, and just dramatic enough to feel like it belongs to another world.

None of the jewelry here is mass-produced. Each design is made by hand, in small batches, with an eye for detail and a refusal to take things too seriously. These are pieces for readers, dreamers, romantics, and anyone who believes their accessories should say something—even if that something is “I have excellent taste and questionable priorities.”

A quick but important note:  I don’t carve or grow the crystals myself (if I could, I would). Instead, I personally source high-quality stones from trusted suppliers around the world, choosing each one for its beauty, energy, and story potential. The magic happens when those stones meet thoughtful design, small-batch craftsmanship, and a mildly obsessive attention to detail—by me.

You’ll also find officially licensed, book-inspired designs, including pieces connected to beloved worlds like Sarah J. Maas and Zodiac Academy—created legally, respectfully, and with deep affection for the stories that inspired them.

This shop exists outside the noise of big marketplaces and trend-chasing chaos. It's thoughtfully made pieces with subtle literary energy and a sense of humor.

If you’re drawn to objects that feel a little magical, a little rebellious, and entirely your own—you’re in the right place.

✨ Stay strange, birdies.
