Welcome to my shop!

My name is Jesse & I work in wildlife biology, am an avid rock-hounder, and constant crafter. I spent the last few years traveling around, full time in an RV, to seasonal positions but I recently started grad school studying deer & drones! My home base is now Kingsville, Texas but I have also lived in Nevada, Oregon, California, Pennsylvania, and New York! I love being able to travel around, exploring new areas, & studying a variety of different creatures!

I spend almost all of my time in the great outdoors, where I pull inspiration for my jewelry. I have collected a variety of gemstones while rockhounding in the places I have lived and worked & recently began turning them into pieces of jewelry - so they are truly hand picked, polished, and crafted! I have also recently began using small bones, teeth, and claws that I find on my adventures - all collected from creatures already deceased due to natural causes. I feel this gives them new life! I fall so in love with every single bead/stone/bone that I use and am genuinely excited about making the perfect piece of jewelry out of each one.

In addition to natural stones and bones, I love using mixed metals, leather, suede, and glass beads. I love that natural, bohemian, earthy, southwestern vibe! I enjoy earth tones, turquoise (okay, I REALLY love turquoise), and reds. I love supporting other small businesses so all beads used and other materials, are always purchased from other small shops!

Thank you for stopping by! Please let me know if you have any questions - I am more than happy to customize/tweak any design you may have your eye on. Happy shopping!

- Jess
