Become Spellbound : For the Magical and Bold
Made with love in the heart of Hampden, Become Spellbound is a Baltimore jewelry studio creating one-of-a-kind, handcrafted jewelry from crystals, fossils, gemstones, meteorites, and other unusual treasures from the natural world. Artist Kari Dern creates sculptural wearable talismans inspired by natural history, deep time, and the feeling of wonder that comes from holding something ancient, rare, or completely unexpected in your hands. Her work ranges from luminous crystal and gemstone jewelry to fossil pieces featuring megalodon teeth and other remnants of prehistoric life. Every piece is individually designed and handmade, making each one truly one of a kind. In 2026, Become Spellbound was named Best of Baltimore for Jewelry by Baltimore Magazine, adding to recognition for Kari’s work in Baltimore and beyond. The name “Become Spellbound” is an invitation to find the magic in everyday life, to stay curious and open-hearted, to be bold, and to seek out experiences of awe and wonder.
