The studio

One pair of hands, made for the animals.

Bent Pinky Studio was founded by Julian Kuepper, a New York jeweler with a deep love for animals. Every piece is designed, drawn, and finished by Julian — one person, one bench, one piece at a time.

The mission

10% of every order supports animals.

Julian's work is a love letter to the creatures that share our lives. From every piece sold, 10% goes to various organizations that protect and care for animals — from house pets to wildlife. Buying a piece is, quietly, an act of support.

The practice

Designed by one person

Every piece is drawn, prototyped, and finished by Julian. Nothing is outsourced. Nothing is mass-produced.

Made to order

Each piece is made to order in NYC. Please allow 3–4 weeks for production.

Customizable

Many pieces can be customized — eye colors, gemstones, metals — to match the animal you love. Just get in touch.

A hand-painted box, every time

Every order ships in a small, hand-painted box. No two are alike. An original work to keep, long after the piece is on.
