For Forrest Voedisch, creating high-quality, beautiful jewelry comes second only to making sure her customers feel their very best in what she’s created, and at Metric Forrest Studio, that’s exactly what she’s done.
A new addition to the Monroe Street Farmers’ Market, Metric Forrest Studio is a Madison-based jewelry brand that specializes in handcrafted jewelry. Their website promises, “Our collections tell their own story, each inspired by our mission to create beautiful jewelry for your everyday.”
Since 2019, Forrest Voedisch, owner and operator of Metric Forrest Studio, has transformed her jewelry brand to become a favorite in the Madison area and beyond. Their mission is simple: create well-loved jewelry that complements any outfit and empowers each wearer to take on the day.
“Our intention with our business is to create a beautiful quality product, but it’s also to help people feel really good about what they’re wearing, to find go-to pieces,” Forrest says.
Metric Forrest Studio features two distinct brands, Imagine and Eclectic Earth, both of which are hand-crafted and designed in-studio by Forrest and her dedicated staff. The Imagine line features boho, natural designs that use hand-carved copper, brass, gold and silver, while the Eclectic Earth features a more “dazzling look,” with gemstones and hand-etched metals. Each item is handmade, one-at-a-time to ensure perfection in every piece.
“I learned along the way the reason that people buy a certain product,” Forrest says, “They buy it because of the way it makes them feel. I do believe that crystals and things like that make us feel good, and I want to show that.”
Throughout both Metric Forrest Studio collections, and with new designs coming this summer, Forrest’s passion for her craft is clear, with high-quality pieces that are meticulously crafted right in her Madison studio.
There’s a lot more to be excited about in the future, too. Forrest hopes to build a retail store in the Madison area, create custom designs and release even more collections, experimenting with innovative, new designs.
And if there’s one thing that you can count on from the brand, it’s that Forrest will always have exciting new ideas to bring her vision to life.
“It’s unique that we have two large brands. And so a lot of jewelry companies only have one signature look, and most of their jewelry is really similar, so that’s what’s cool about our brand,” said Forrest, “There’s a lot I’m excited about in the future.”
Outside of the Monroe Street Farmers’ Market, you can shop Metric Forrest Studio on their website , select Whole Foods and other natural food stores across the country, or stop by Library Mall in downtown Madison on Fridays to meet Forrest and check out her new bicycle cart.
