ROAM: to travel purposefully unhindered through a wide area
ROAM Silver is inspired by the urge to roam - wanderlust. The places you see. The people you meet. Most importantly, the treasures you find. Handcrafted from sterling silver and gemstones, predominately turquoise, these one-of-a-kind pieces are inspired by the western lifestyle and an adventurous spirit.
I grew up in Steamboat Springs, CO on a ranch outside of town. My turquoise obsession began while I was in college. I began making jewelry and selling it for some additional income. I spent many weekends at farmer's markets, trade shows, doing my best to push my work. All the while I wished I could add my own silver accents and pendants. I had a great desire to learn the art of silversmithing.
After college, I worked for a gold and silversmith in my hometown (The Silver Spur Steamboat - she is awesome). Here, I learned the art of prep and finish work, design and construction, but eventually graduate school tugged at my sleeve and I put my jewelry hobby on hold. Fast forward more than 10 years and here I am! I can't say what it was that brought me back to my jewelry, but the timing could not have been better. I was lucky enough to be mentored by another silversmith through evening classes and I haven't looked back since. My skills continue to improve, but so does my love of the creative process and handcrafted jewelry.
I currently live on a small property with my husband, our two-year old son and our four-legged family. I quit my "real job" to stay at home with our little guy and work in my shop a few hours a week. As a result, my custom orders are limited, but feel free to contact me with any questions! Thanks for stopping by -
