History

Established in 2008.

After a year of designing residential landscapes in the Portland area, Emily Baker decided to open her retail/​studio space Sword+Fern in the Central Eastside’s shopping district, and apply her eye as a designer and crafter to the world of fashion. Emily’s current jewelry collection was created in the spirit of the beaches and forests she grew up exploring. This lends her designs to materials such as found metals, recycled glass, leather, bone, driftwood, vintage chain, and shells. Her accessory offerings are truly a local treasure and are sure to brighten any jewelry box. For pictures and info visit swor​dand​fern​.com, and follow on Twitter and Facebook.-Portland Mercury

Business Owner

You’ll find jewelry designer Emily Baker’s unmistakable wares at any number of shops here — ever since she began designing pieces from her now-​signature recycled car parts, she’s become sort of a symbol of the up-​cycling movement in Portland. Her shop is definitely worth a visit if you’re spending time on East Burnside. Emily is an absolute delight to meet, and you’ll likely find gorgeous one-​of-​a-​kind pieces you can’t buy elsewhere. Plus, she keeps her walls bare to use as a gallery space that she rotates monthly, so you’ll be able to browse her designs and check out a talented local artist (or two) while you’re at it.-Design*Sponge
