Trained in Metalsmithing at the Kendall School of Art and Design and the Miami Jewelry Institute, Kol S. Naylor offers a full Collection of Jewelry in precious metals, plated precious metals and gemstones. My works are inspired by nature and include delicate components individually handformed in my Studio in Portsmouth, RI. I have been published in the Lark Collection of Best Rings in addition to being Awarded Best of Show at Art Providence.

My use of color is the most unique and unexpected incorporating Lampwork Glass Beads made by some of the most talented Beadmakers in the world, making my handmade work widely embraced, vibrant and completely compelling. My Studio is a converted boathouse which allows me all the inspiration needed to create my work. My pieces are collected by those women that not only want to enhance their existing jewelry and wearable collections but make these one-of-a-kind pieces the prizes they are.
