Meet Claire
Meet Claire Mannheimer, a lifelong maker, trained metalsmith, and founder of Adorn to Rise.
Claire's relationship with jewelry began long before it became her profession. She has been creating jewelry in one form or another since childhood and later earned a degree in Jewelry and Small Metals before spending more than a decade refining her craft at the bench.
Since founding Adorn to Rise, her work has evolved from a small studio practice into a collection of fine jewelry, custom engagement rings, and one of a kind heirloom pieces.
Process
Working from her office in downtown Missoula, Montana, Claire begins each design through a process of sketching, exploration, and refinement.
Every piece starts with a question, an idea, or a symbol and is carefully developed until form, proportion, and meaning feel fully resolved.
Though the inspiration behind a piece may be centuries old, the goal is always the same: to create jewelry that feels timeless, wearable, and relevant in contemporary life.
Custom Work
Alongside the collection, Claire works closely with clients to create custom engagement rings, wedding jewelry, and personal commissions.
These collaborations combine thoughtful design with expert craftsmanship to create pieces intended to be worn daily, treasured for a lifetime, and eventually passed through generations.
Your Future Heirloom
At the heart of Claire's work is a respect for jewelry as both an art form and a lasting object.
Her goal is to create meaningful contemporary heirlooms that feel as relevant and cherished fifty years from now as they do the day they are received.
