Rugged And Raw

I love to combine found objects, metal shapes, stones and other unique elements in one-of-a-kind pie My interest in gemstones began when as a child.

I use gemstones as my preferred medium for jewelry designs because they are a high quality natural substance of amazing beauty. They have a upscale look and feel that provides a sense of confidence to anyone who wears them. I can remember being outside and stopping whatever it was doing because a rock sparkling in sunlight captured my attention. The earth creates amazingly beautiful stones trough the natural process, and humans transform them into gems to highlight their beauty.

Hey y’all! 💫 Just popping in to share a peek of what’s coming next. I’ve been obsessed with gold tones, blacks, graffiti vibes, and soft grays lately. This next drop is all about mixing medias and techniques and kind of like culture mashups that just work. It’s inspired by my own journey and evolution as an artist, and I seriously can’t wait to show you what’s next. ✨

✨ I’ve been exploring new mediums and adding fresh layers to my jewelry style — something bold, colorful, and full of personality (just like me!).

If you know me, it’s no surprise to see vibrant colors, big stones, and a whole lot of excitement in my work. As an artist, it’s important to stay aware of new trends like seasonal colors and design elements — but never lose your essence. I’ve always believed in creating what I love and wearing what makes me feel good.

💙 I hope my pieces bring you that same joy and spark a smile every time you wear them.

The earrings featured here are aluminum, powder-coated, and finished with stainless steel posts. The color combinations remind me of confetti — a little surprise and a celebration in every piece.

I’m growing as a designer, and honestly, I’m having an absolute blast on this journey. Thank you all for being part of it!

✨ I’m obsessed with how this piece turned out! ✨
This beauty features labradorite with golden rutile threads—an incredibly rare and powerful combo. The flash of labradorite meets the sparkle of rutile in the most unexpected way.
Set in a hand-fabricated brass bezel, this necklace feels like wearing a storm and a sunbeam at the same time.

It’s bold, moody, and full of light ⚡

✨ Watermelon Tourmaline Magic ✨
19.95ct | approx. 17.25 x 15.33mm | Brass setting

Wow… I’m so proud of how far I’ve come—not just as a jewelry maker, but as a person. Jewelry has been more than a craft for me—it’s been a journey of self-discovery.

There were times I doubted myself, compared myself to others, and wanted to give up. But today, I know who I am. I’m an artist, a creator, and someone who will never stop exploring what I’m capable of.

So much love and inspiration has come into my life through gemstones and the people who share this passion. This watermelon tourmaline piece is a little reminder of that growth—raw, real, and radiant.

Getting back out there and sharing my creations with the world fills my heart! 💛

I’m so proud of myself for pushing past the doubt and showing up with my jewelry. Every smile, every conversation, every connection made this weekend reminded me why I started.

Can’t wait to keep the momentum going and do more markets around the DFW area—this is just the beginning! ✨

Thank you to everyone who supports handmade and local—your encouragement means the world 🌎💫

✨Some days are for sketching, others for soldering… but my favorite days are for playing. That’s when the magic happens — no pressure, just pure exploration and joy. That’s where I fall in love with the process all over again. 💛

This piece came from that kind of day — open heart, open mind, just letting the shapes guide me.

Thank you so much to everyone who supports my art — your messages, kind words, and encouragement keep me inspired more than you know. 💫

Learning how to cut and polish my own cabochons was incredible… but the real gem? The amazing friendships I made along the way! From laughs at the polishing wheel to sharing tips at the bench—my cup (and heart) is full!

Happy Friday!
Just being a little silly over here, but can we talk about how gorgeous copper and ruby look together?!
These raw beauties are giving earthy goddess vibes all day.

I’ve got 6 rings left in sizes: 6.5, 6.75, 7, and 9 — grab yours before they’re gone!
Which one’s calling your name?

Studio challenge accepted.
As I reorganized my space yesterday, I made a promise to myself: use what I already have. I’m pushing creativity within limits—no new materials (with the small exception of tools and wax).

This piece is inspired by that intention—built from what’s on hand, designed to come together post-casting with a jump ring connection. Thinking of casting in brass and pairing it with a silver chain for that rugged, mixed metal vibe I love.

Swipe to see the inspiration + construction.
What do you think—should I go brass/silver, or try another combo?

Two beauties, one technique.
Sapphire on the left, Amethyst stalactite on the right—both handcrafted using the lost wax method in brass.
