✨ 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.

Available now at Born To Roam Trading Post.

New Tree of Life Necklace available! This one features genuine amethyst wrapped in durable stainless steel wire with handwoven details and shimmering glass beads. The adjustable cord is made with strong nylon thread for comfortable everyday wear.

One of my favorite things about stainless steel wire is that it’s water-safe — you can wear this necklace in the shower, at the beach, or even in the ocean without it changing color or rusting. A beautiful piece for nature lovers, travelers, and free spirits. 💜
