Ashley Thorne created her fine jewelry line A.M. Thorne three years ago while living in Brooklyn, NY. Inspired by art and architecture and drawing on the natural beauty of femininity and light, her collection is composed of bold, minimal designs. She plays with simple forms such as lines and dots to create patterns within her work and draws upon the natural beauty of classic materials like white and black diamonds and solid 14K gold.
