Est. 2022.

California Dirt is rooted in the mysteries of the natural world, looking to its rhythms, its forms, its order, and its chaos. We craft personal artifacts: intimate, tactile objects meant to be held close and kept for life. 

Carmen Kelly, the founder, designer, and artist behind California Dirt, works fluidly across mediums to develop and expand the brand’s intuitive visual language. The world of California Dirt traverses silver, ceramics, illustration, tattoos, furniture, and beyond. It is a living, ever-evolving experiment in materiality, ritual, symbolism, and style.

We work exclusively with local metal smiths and artisans in Los Angeles for the production of our  jewelry. Our pieces are complete once they reach your hands, where we hope they will take on lives and meanings of their own.
