About The Metalsmith | Agena Underwood
Agena Underwood, owner of Crystal Borealis Studio is a resident of Harwich, MA. She has been largely self-taught in metalsmithing, Her journey began unexpectedly when she was gifted an old beaded necklace in need of repair—a moment that ignited a lifelong passion for the craft.
After being introduced to beading she took up with a local metalsmithing studio to learn more about metalwork. She credits the global community of artists on YouTube for providing the digital 'classroom' where she spent countless hours honing her technical skills. Crystals and rocks have always held Agena's fascination since she was a child. It was no accident that later she began to incorporate gemstones into her work. Her business moniker speaks to her affinity for those enchanting objects and the natural beauty all around us.
Her collections are hallmarked by rich earthy textures, fine metals, and gemstone accents, resulting in one-of-a-kind earrings, cuff bracelets, and necklaces. Agena's handmade jewelry features traditional metalsmithing techniques, which include blue patina finishes over copper and brass. Living on Cape Cod, Agena finds endless inspiration in the organic coastal beauty that surrounds her, which she translates into the signature blue Ocean Treasure Collection.
