Raptor Jewelry<br />

Raptor Jewelry is a custom jewelry line that embraces eccentricity. Each pair has a personality and a name to match! In addition<br />

to charisma, each pair carries a bit of Native American culture by means of precious stones, feathers, or leather. They’re all<br />

hand made rendering no two pair alike, so revel in the beauty and individuality of Raptor.<br />

The designer behind the brand is 25-year-old Ashlee Hatcher. Her passion for creating jewelry is grand and with hard work the<br />

brand has grown tremendously. She has reached success in a very short time and actresses such as Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria<br />

and Steven Tyler are clients on her list to name a few. Ashlee’s name for her Jewelry-line Raptor mainly comes from her<br />

fascination of Jurassic Park. More specifically the scene when the kids are running around in the big metal kitchen trying to get<br />

away from the Raptors. But on a more professional note, Raptor’s are also <strong>bird</strong>s of prey. Seeing as all Ashlee’s earrings have<br />

both feathers and ferocity, she thought it was a fitting name.<br />

The inspiration for her lines comes from everything and everybody she encounters. She takes full advantage of all her senses.<br />

The world can be as ugly as it is beautiful but Ashlee tries to focus on the latter. She makes it a point to soak up all the<br />

positive and use that to make something beautiful.<br />

To describe her brand in styles and looks she has several categories she puts them into. ’Simply feathers’, ’hand made wire<br />

hoops’, ‘dream catchers’, ‘chain danglers’ and ‘big gold hoops’. In an interview with Ark Collective she mentions ”I’ll honestly<br />

make anything that dares to cross my mind but as a group, I’d say they all carry a touch of class and a bump of funk!”. Here<br />

are some of her latest designs.<br />
