ARTIST SPOTLIGHT | Britta Ambauen

Lion’s Roar is honoured to showcase the deeply inspired and beautiful jewelry of Britta Ambauen. We began carrying Britta’s jewelry with two pieces she made that were inspired by Pema’s Chödrön’s teachings, “The Moment” and “Bodhicitta”, two of our most popular pieces still to this day.

Britta approaches jewelry as both craft and companion, a way to mark moments of growth, courage, and becoming. Her designs are guided by an appreciation for shibui: a Japanese aesthetic that values simplicity with depth, restraint with meaning. At first glance, the work appears minimal; upon closer inspection, it reveals subtle twists, natural variation, and quiet complexity.

While many designs are still handcrafted in Britta’s studio, the collection has evolved to include thoughtfully produced collaborations with a small circle of family-run workshops. Ethical production is central to the brand, every partnership is built on fairness, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to craftsmanship. By working closely with a few skilled collaborators, Britta allows each maker’s strengths to shine through in the finished work.

At its heart, Britta Ambauen jewelry exists to offer wearable reminders, of intention, resilience, and the beauty found in a life lived with care. Her two new necklaces, “Passing Through” and “Wholehearted” evoke this quality most profoundly.

At Lion’s Roar, we feel inspired by Britta’s thought and attention to her craft and we think you will be inspired by her too.
