what you'll find here
a beacon, forged in fire.
Jamie Hollier grew up around her grandfather's machine shop, her great aunt's antique store and the art shows she went to with her mom. She studied art history and metalsmithing, spent years in tech, and opened Balefire in 2017 to bring artisan-made, responsibly sourced jewelry to Arvada.
Today our metalsmiths bring more than 50 years of combined bench experience, and most custom work is made right here, at our in-studio benches.
A balefire is a signal fire, a beacon. We hope the pieces we make and carry, most of them forged in fire, help bring people together.
