Wild Crafted Statement and Talisman Jewelry

Welcome to Studio Athene Noctua, where the raw beauty of the Earth meets the hands of the artisan. Founded in 2024 by metalsmith and electroformer Marie Tengren-Knight, this studio is a haven for those who seek jewelry infused with ancient energy, modern artistry, and a touch of wild alchemy.

Each creation is a talisman—a piece of the natural world transformed through fire, metal, and intention. Inspired by the untamed landscapes of the Earth and the echoes of ancient wisdom, Marie handcrafts every design to honor the seekers, the mystics, the rebels, and the dreamers.

Using a blend of metalsmithing, electroforming, wire wrapping, and hand stamping, she works with thoughtfully chosen crystals, gemstones, and mixed metals, crafting adornments that resonate on a soul level. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind expression of transformation, grounding, and magic.

From Marie’s Santa Fe Studio to You

Working in her home-based studio in the heart of Santa Fe, Marie draws on ancient techniques and timeless artistry—hammering, stamping, oxidizing, and polishing each piece by hand. Her process is slow and intentional, ensuring every creation carries the imprint of the artisan's touch and the spirit of the materials themselves.

Jewelry as Ritual, Adornment as Magic

Jewelry isn’t just something you wear—it’s something you connect with. Each piece is designed to be a companion on your journey, a reflection of your essence, and a reminder of your wild, untamed spirit.
