Peterson MADE is a fine jewelry and professional piercing studio created for those who believe their jewelry should hold more than beauty. It should hold the moments that matter most.
From signature collections to custom commissions, heirloom fingerprint keepsakes, Forever Linked gold, and curated piercing experiences, each piece is designed to honor the people, relationships, and milestones that shape who you are.
Barb Peterson | Founder. Designer. Goldsmith.
Peterson MADE is the work of founder, designer, and goldsmith Barb Peterson. Working from her North Carolina studio, Barb blends traditional goldsmithing techniques with a modern, intentional aesthetic: clean lines, mixed metals, and heirloom-worthy detail.
Her work is grounded in craftsmanship and guided by storytelling, creating jewelry meant to be worn with purpose, passed down with meaning, and crafted in solid gold.
With a foundation in both fine craftsmanship and business, Barb brings a thoughtful, detail-driven approach to every piece and every client experience.
That belief in intentional making shapes everything at Peterson MADE.
Jewelry is one of the few things we carry through our lives.
It marks love, loss, growth, and becoming, quietly, beautifully, and always close to the body. The pieces we choose often outlast the moments themselves, becoming reminders of who we were, who we loved, and who we are becoming.
At Peterson MADE, those moments are meant to be held, and worn, in gold.
Every Peterson MADE piece is handcrafted or carefully finished using traditional techniques such as fabrication, stone setting, and casting.
We work primarily in solid gold and fine materials, creating jewelry designed for longevity, not trends. From small-batch signature collections to one-of-a-kind custom commissions, each piece reflects a commitment to quality, integrity, and thoughtful design.
From engagements and anniversaries to friendships, motherhood, healing, and personal transformation, we create jewelry and experiences that honor the chapters that shape your life.
Each experience is designed to feel personal, intentional, and lasting.
We don't just make jewelry. We help you wear your story.
