One day in February 2011, on a typical rainy Seattle day, owner Alexis Waite, was compelled to start braiding leather. Not sure why, she quickly understood that her creativity had been VERY blocked, making her exhausted and sick, and it needed to start moving. As soon as she started the simple act of braiding, the visions came and she intrinsically knew her next BIG step in life, and it was to make jewelry. As she continued to move her hands and allow the energy to move, she made a commitment to never stop creating again, and that someday she'd make this her business and livelihood... somehow, someway.

Then logic entered her mind soon after all the inspired designs flooding into her stream of consciousness, she had no idea how to physically create. So, Alexis enrolled in as many metal-smithing classes as possible that spring and summer while living in Seattle, because by August, she had plans to move to Montana.

Within a year a brand was born - Feral Stone - as feral means to bring something from it domesticated state, back into it's raw and/or wild state, this resonated with her life and focus at that time. It was about connecting back with who she truly is. Feral Stone was built very slowly, deliberately and consciously. Like a baby bird, it's time of nurturing was up and still, Feral Stone just never quite grew big enough wings to leave the nest. Alexis, being a Scorpio - a Phoenix - and not afraid to see the signs, knew what needed to be done. It was time to let go, move into and through the ashes to be reborn. Rebranding had been on her mind for awhile, but an actual move to Arizona (Phoenix area ironically) gave her the courage for this change.

Lex Hamilton was born. A brand with renewed inspiration and connection to the simplicity, natural beauty, and spirit. As Alexis' spirit evolved, let go, and vibrations changed, her creative expression needed to follow. Seeing the path ahead, not knowing how to navigate it, and feeling at ease with that knowing, Lex Hamilton will be different and we hope you connect to the new energy and vibe.

Lex Hamilton will feel just like a good deep breath, breathe in - and - breathe out, one to one... we will connect people, open hearts, inspire the spirit with purpose on this astounding New Earth.

Thank you for supporting Feral Stone... and now Lex Hamilton.
