Sinclair Jewelry

Accessories – Pittsburgh

Sinclair Jewelry was created out of a love of history and a desire to bring the treasures of the past into modern life. Brandy Sinclair is the designer and metalsmith behind Sinclair Jewelry. She began metalworking at a young age, honing her skills in one grandfather’s workshop, and at her other grandfather’s farm. Being of Welsh, Seneca, Cherokee and Scottish heritage, her love of history was sparked early by numerous family legends and cultural lore. Luckily, Brandy grew up just down the street from her hometown library and was able to spend many cozy hours curled up by the fireplace or hidden deep in the archive stacks. Now, as a wife and mom, she’s thrilled that she can combine her passion with her skill to bring the artifacts of the past into modern day. Brian Hagan is not only Brandy’s other half, but a vital resource for Sinclair Jewelry. As a gemologist and lapidary, it’s his research and stonecutting talents that allow many of her designs to come to life. Brian’s background in art and technology gives him a unique perspective on gemstones, which lets him balance the physical properties of a stone with beauty in a way that makes for long-lasting, gorgeous jewelry. He loves history as much as Brandy, and often directly aids in the design process either stylistically, or through his stonework.
