As the region's only international-award-winning designer, you are assured of a special, stunning expression of your personality in every piece of jewelry I make. I have created a collection of one-of-a-kind finished jewelry, rings, pendants and earrings, ready for you to purchase today as your expression of our natural world.
In addition to ready-to-wear pieces, please bear in mind that designing custom jewelry is my specialty. If you don't see exactly what you'd like, or you have gems that you'd like to reuse, or are ready to upgrade your original diamond, talk to me about commissioning something just for you. Through a thoughtful and fun collaboration, I can create the right piece of jewelry (or the right painting) that is yours alone.

About
Report
Growing up in Portland, Oregon, Karen was always involved in art. She drew a lot and strung love beads in the 60's and aggravated her mother playing in the wax of burning candles, fashioning miniature sculptures. In high school she was drawn to jewelry making, where she took her childhood interests to a more constructive level and learned about wax model carving and lost wax casting.
Unique Rings
Report
When you look at my rings you will see an emphasis on color, clean lines, and sculptural shapes, echoing the world around us. Influenced by everything from nature to architecture, jewelry by Karen Bandy of Bend, Oregon is unique and individualistic as well as beautiful. Design and goldsmithing are of the highest quality, Karen's rings are always one-of-a-kind, and very wearable.
Custom orders
Report
You deserve access to world-wide sources for hard-to-find gemstones, ensuring you have the widest selection, not just what is in the display case that day. Search out someone with a record of design excellence recognized by professional organizations. Your designer should be able to use recycled gold and ethically source gems, including Canadian diamonds and fair trade stones.
Painting Commissions
Report
I'm discovering that I love to paint your animals. I work from photos that you send me, or if you live in Bend I can come take photos for you. We choose the best photo to work from, agree on the size, and then I work in my unique style to paint your beloved animal. You can see examples of that style under 'Paintings' or 'Portfolio'.
