Luckstruck
Announcement
Hello! Welcome to Luckstruck--sterling silver jewelry with a gothic Western feel. Laid back and badass, featuring vintage glass cabochons and my signature handmade silver roses.
My current processing time before shipping is *two weeks* on anything silver. Sizers ship within three days.
Please excuse the somewhat gnarly hands in the photos--those are the hands that make the jewelry. :)
Though you won't receive the exact item pictured, it will be the same design. I make hundreds of little silver roses but each one turns out just a little bit differently. Kinda like snowflakes, I guess. The beauty of handmade is that each item might have its own little idiosyncrasy.

5 out of 5 starsI love my two new special made pinky rings in sz. 3.75. (I have looked forever for a smaller size.) *TY so much. The packaging & hand written thank you note was a lovely touch. *Would recommend this small business. *The wait...is so worth it!

4 out of 5 starsReceived my bands in a couple of weeks, as expected. They arrived beautifully wrapped with a hand written note, very nice touch! The rings aren’t as beefy as I had interpreted from the photo, but they actually worked out better for what I needed. I ordered them to pair with a ring I wear on my wedding ring finger. I’ve gotten lots of complements on the set, I love how they look & feel. I’m very happy with my purchase! ☺️

Hey. I’m Lisa. I make things. I collect things. I have a lot of cats.
I graduated in 2008 from the University of Kansas with a degree in jewelry design and metalsmithing. Fun fact: It’s the oldest program of its kind west of the Mississippi. I read that in the course catalog once and I’ve repeated it dozens of times. I will probably continue to do so.
You know how most people change their major at least once? I never did. Kinda surprising, especially when you consider that a) I didn't take a single art class in high school and b) I picked jewelry/metalsmithing from a list on the back of a postcard KU sent me. My last semester, I took a letterpress class and made my own graduation announcements. On the back is a quote from Marilyn da Silva which reads, "Some people are said to have been born with a silver spoon. I am convinced that I was born with the hammer, to make the silver spoon, which makes me even luckier." Pure, Grade A awesomeness right there, folks.
I've been a maker my entire life. My mom's mom taught her to sew and my mom taught me. I joined 4-H when I was old enough and made clothes for the fair each year. It's kind of mind-blowing that I've been sewing for over twenty years. My dad was always working on our family home, which originally belonged to his grandmother. From the two of them, I learned how to do it myself before DIY was even a "thing". :) When I was a freshman in high school, I was bound and determined to take woodworking instead of Spanish, despite the reservations of my high school counselor. I later took Spanish, but woodworking has proven to be the most helpful in my daily life, hands down.
Anyway, about the jewelry...
My parents have taken me to flea markets since I was little, so I've had a lifelong appreciation of old things. I especially take inspiration from vintage western imagery as well as Victorian jewelry and symbolism. You'll see a lot of "lucky" symbols...hence my shop name. I am obsessed with horseshoes but I don’t like horses all that much. One chewed on my ponytail at 4-H camp and I’ve never fully forgiven the species.
Many of my pieces showcase vintage glass cabochons. Most of them are what’s called a “reverse intaglio.” The cabochons have a design molded into the back, which is then painted. They're a poor man's version of Essex crystals, some of which are incredible. Google it. You won't regret it.
I recycle whatever I can, in and out of the studio. Your purchase might be mailed in a reused bubble envelope and padded with tissue paper. The gift box itself will be new, but is made of 77% post-consumer fiber.

Frequently asked questions
When will my order ship?
Each listing includes my "processing time," which is the time it takes me to make and prepare your order for shipping. I do my best to get orders out within this timeframe but please note that it's a guideline more than a guarantee.
Will I get a shipping notification?
Yep! When your order ships, you will get a notification including a tracking number.
Why haven't I gotten a tracking number or shipping notification yet?
Because your order hasn't yet shipped.
Why hasn't my order shipped?
The vast majority of my pieces are made to order and I fill orders as I get them. At any one time, I have a few dozen orders in my queue. I'm getting to yours, I promise, but I am only one person.
The tracking says _____, can you help?
Probably not. I don't have any additional information on the whereabouts of your package beyond what's shown on the USPS tracking website. If it's been a few days and it says "pre-transit," DO let me now because there's a chance it got fumbled between my house and the post office.
Why is my package taking so long?!
The USPS is doing the best they can with what they have. For months we've been seeing delays and tracking not updating for days. Your package is on its way, it's just taking the scenic route! And no, there's nothing I can do about it once it's in the hands of the postal service. I wish the packages good luck and godspeed when I drop them off and, short of delivering them myself, that's about all I can do. Yes, I'm frustrated too.
