Founded in 2009 by designer Molly Conant, Rackk & Ruin is dedicated to creating unique jewelry inspired by traditional symbolism and historic art, blending timeless and modern aesthetics.

Each piece is started and finished in our studio located in the Arts District of Burlington, Vermont, which has been our home for the past 12 years. During this time, our jewelry styles and materials have evolved significantly.

In the early years, each piece was one of a kind, incorporating found objects and unexpected elements, using cold closures instead of soldering. Without a background in metalwork or formal training, this innovative approach shaped the way Molly first began making jewelry.

Since then, Rackk & Ruin has not only grown into a team of three, but we now also work with two New England-based casting houses, a family-owned gold plating facility, and a local stone setter with over 30 years of experience. This ensures that every element of our jewelry reflects our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Our designs are created to inspire and empower the wearer, with a focus on durability and timelessness— truly made to be lived in.

Our mission is to support our small team of three through financial stability and creative opportunities. As a maker-owned operation, we prioritize social and ecological responsibility in every aspect of our design and production process.
