The ReCrafted Gem

Sustainable Jewelry Studio

Handcrafted jewelry, made to be worn and loved.

The ReCrafted Gem transforms old, broken, and overlooked pieces into modern jewelry you’ll want to wear, using reclaimed materials and hand-finished craft.

Meet the Artist

Hi, I’m Masina.

I’m the founder of The ReCrafted Gem. What started as an art practice during my cancer recovery in 2020 became a small studio focused on making, mending, and reimagining jewelry.

Every piece is hand-finished from reclaimed beads, recycled metals, and thrifted materials given a second life. My goal is straightforward: jewelry you actually wear.

Recent reviews from customers

“I lost one of my favorite earrings and the ReCrafted Gem turned the remaining one into a pendant for me so I can wear it again! I also got a chain fixed and she managed to polish a stubborn stain off of a silver bracelet. Highly recommend!”

“Masina Johnston fixed my jewelry (a ring, bracelets and a charm hooks) perfectly and in just a week. I’ve not been able to wear these because the jewelry stores don’t want to bother with small pieces that won’t make them money to repair. She even took the time to change out a bracelet hook that didn’t quite work for me and I loved the change. I highly recommend Masina for all your jewelry repairs and she also buys and sells jewelry.”
