About

We’re Shawna and Dan, partners in life and creativity, crafting jewelry that reflects our steadfast values- a big one being the rejection of mindless consumerism.

We’re unapologetically non-religious and unafraid to stand against the status quo, which is why we chose the name Dissenting Objects. It’s a nod to questioning norms and celebrating individuality.

Our designs marry age-old techniques like lost wax casting with a modern edge, resulting in heirloom pieces that are bold, imperfect, and undeniably you. Shawna brings over a decade of fine art experience to every piece, while Dan’s engineering background ensures every detail is thoughtful and precise. Together, they bring a combined 25 years of retail knowledge to deliver a well considered and unique customer experience.

We’re inspired by fashion, statement pieces, and the idea that what you wear can spark a conversation. Based in Seattle, we make each piece with care, integrity, and a refusal to compromise on our values.

At Dissenting Objects, jewelry isn’t just an accessory. It’s a symbol of dissent, individuality, and your unique story.
