Three new pairs of earrings hitting the shelves now! Some of our jewelry is simply beads on charms. This breaks up the intense wire wrapping and also offers a price break to some. I think these turned out very pretty. What do you think?

New candles and plants are headed to the shop tomorrow! 🌿🕯️

We’re closed today (and every Wednesday) while we spend some time with family and work on bringing in fresh inventory. JJ had his two-month checkup this morning, and now we’re busy preparing new items for the shop.

We’ll also be rearranging the store soon to make room for all the new goodies. Stop by this week and check out the updated setup! We’ll share photos once everything is finished for those who can’t make it in person. 😊

And don’t forget you can always shop online if you’d like to support our small business but aren’t able to visit the shop. Thank you for supporting what we create and helping us keep Born To Roam growing! ❤️

✨ New wire wrapped earrings available now! ✨

These one-of-a-kind earrings feature beautiful charoite gemstones wrapped in gold-plated copper wire with gold-plated hooks.

Charoite is a rare gemstone found in only one place on Earth—Siberia, Russia. Known for its swirling shades of violet and lavender, it often displays a pearly luster and chatoyancy (cat’s-eye shimmer) that catches the light beautifully.

Handmade in Makanda, Illinois.

Something new and different that I made today! ✨

This one-of-a-kind necklace features rutilated quartz hand wrapped in warm gold-toned wire and paired with an adjustable hand-knotted cord accented with glass and metal beads.

I love trying new designs, and this piece has a simple, earthy feel that lets the natural beauty of the stone shine. Rutilated quartz is often associated with clarity, inspiration, and confidence, with each stone displaying its own unique golden inclusions.

Handmade in Makanda, Illinois.
