There is not an artist on Etsy that is better than Love Root, the things I have from her have a soul to them. Craftmanship is supreme and design perfectly executed.

Nikki, I am really in love with my most recent LoveRoot acquisition! The singular stone is indeed "wicked" as you described it and displayed to perfection by your rustic beaded chain necklace. Absolutely magnificent. Happy, happy! Please keep making beautiful things. May your small business thrive!

These are such lovely earrings! Both earthy and dressy. They were lovingly packed well for their journey and shipped quickly. They are very light weight. This isn’t my first purchase from Love Root and won’t be my last. I couldn’t be more pleased!

On Etsy since 2011

Tasting dat rainbow.

She is small. She is mighty.
A recent obsession---grungy star ruby.
My happy place---one of many.

Artisan Jewelry Inspired by the Curiously Unique

Each new day allows us a fresh chance to reveal who we are to the world. I create jewelry to help express those sometimes inexplicable and intangible beasts that inhabit us all---both dark and light, old and new.

The seeds of LoveRoot jewelry started back when I used to braid friendship bracelets in grade school. It progressed to seed bead weaving on a loom, polymer clay beads, and then to macrame hemp chokers in high school. Today I channel my inner artist using a torch, hammer, wire, stones, crusty metal, fossils, ceramic baubles, shells, lampwork glass, polymer clay, scraps of fabric, and any other found objects that speak to me.

My studio has recently been upgraded from a worn-out couch to a real, live, dedicated studio in an actual room with an actual workbench, actual shelves, accompanying sprawl, and whimsy. Humble yet fulfilling. I'm Ohio-proud and grateful to be a member of Etsy's artisan community.

Despite being an introvert and self-avowed hermit, I love connecting with people and sharing thoughts. If you see a stone you like in my shop, have ideas for a custom piece of jewelry, or just want to chat, it would make my day if you dropped me a note.
