Hello, my name is Larissa and I am the maker, photographer, curator, (basically everything) do-er, behind FemmCrow; a tiny, independent business located in south-eastern Connecticut. I opened my Etsy shop in 2013, but I've been making and selling my own designs within my home town for years. I am a life long, self taught artist with a deep love for the dark and arcane aesthetic.



My jewelry making journey actually began when I was in the 3rd grade. Frustrated, that my sensitive skin could not withstand the wear of any of the jewelry I purchased, (if any of you are like me- you know the struggle. I am unable to wear anything with nickel or copper) I started making macrame necklaces, intertwined with other natural materials that wouldn't react against my skin. After years of research, I stumbled on the blackened iron material that I use in my designs today. All of my works are 100% nickel free and safe for sensitive skin!



FemmCrow exists to offer unique, handmade wears to empower the soul and calm the heart. Intentionally forged from jewelry grade iron and stainless steel, FemmCrow designs feature odds and ends from crystals to ethically sourced bone to salvaged thrift finds.



95% of the materials I incorporate into my creations come from small, independent, or handmade shops within the U.S.A. I often make an effort to support other artists and local shops because this is what I believe in. I have been striving to avoid mass produced, cheap chain store components, and create as much as I can with my own two hands, occasionally utilizing pieces by other artists, but always giving them credit in my listings.



I make sure to seal every single piece of iron jewelry with Renaissance Wax to help protect it from the elements, the naturally occurring oils in the skin, and to help keep the blackened finish on the iron nice and dark. If over time you feel that your jewelry piece requires some cleaning or maintenance, you may use a little bit of Mineral Oil (just plain mineral oil from the store) and a soft, microfiber cloth.
