About

Jewelry Designer Anna Lorich allows her jewelry designs to develop naturally, pulling from her past, her travels, and the beauty of the natural world.  Anna has lived and studied in various cities across the east coast and Europe including Providence, Rhode Island, where Anna developed her career as a jewelry artist at the renowned Rhode Island School of Design.

With a long standing love of drawing, painting, textiles and the sculptural form, Anna blends a variety of materials into unique jewelry pieces. The collection is haunted by the influences of ancient artifacts of the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians, yet remains modern in its translation.  Anna’s own heritage being Scandinavian, the innovative simplistic utilitarian qualities of Scandinavian design shows its influence as well.  It is therefore hardly surprising that the modus operandi behind each of her pieces is simplicity itself . . . pieces she herself wishes to wear.

In addition to Anna’s fine art jewelry which has been featured in numerous galleries and publications she is proud to bring you Lorak Designs, a collection of jewelry always with the wearer in mind with the hopes of becoming intimate, cherished additions to the body’s landscape.  Lorak Designs Studio is based in Norfolk, Virginia, where Anna creates delicately evocative jewelry that can be found nowhere else.

“This ever-evolving collection incorporates all that inspires me, while focusing on the goal to make thoughtful, fun and wearable treasures.”
