Welcome to the Chemistry family!

OUR STORY

Chemistry Jewelry is a family-owned gallery rooted in the heart of downtown Hood River, Oregon. Since 1998, our space has celebrated the artistry of fine, hand-crafted jewelry—pieces made with soul, skill, and intention.

In June 2009, after managing the shop for seven years, Christine Barthmus purchased the gallery and made it her own. With a lifelong passion for jewelry and a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship, she began traveling across the country to connect with independent artists—hand-selecting each piece and curating a collection that blends timeless design with a modern spirit.

In 2016, Christine and her husband Michael reimagined the gallery as Chemistry Jewelry, a name inspired by connection—between people, materials, and the stories jewelry helps us tell.

“This is an expression of my love for jewelry, and my desire to support the artists who honor the ancient traditions of craftsmanship—producing hand-made works of art that cannot be replicated by a machine. I seek out these artists and comb through their collections to curate pieces that reflect my vision and passion. Please join me!”
— Christine Barthmus, Owner
