There’s a kind of magic that only happens in person—seeing the textures, feeling the weight, holding a piece before it becomes yours.

I’ll be in Seattle on Saturday, June 21st for an intimate in-person event. Come explore the collections, share stories, and find the piece that resonates with you.

I’d love to see you there.

Let’s meet!

Hi,

I’m Vicky—artist, metalsmith, and founder of Porpe Artifacts.

My path here wasn’t linear. I came to jewelry through longing—for stillness, for touch, for something handmade in a world moving too fast. After years in the corporate world, I returned to craft as a way to listen to myself again.

I work like a sculptor—sometimes carving wax, sometimes hammering directly into metal. Always led by instinct. Always seeking form through fire.

Porpe Artifacts is my offering. A studio rooted in Greek heritage, small-scale ritual, and the belief that jewelry can hold memory the way a stone holds heat.
