The Unearthed Collection: Last Chance Mine is here!

This collection tells the story of a season in my life when I felt disconnected, uncertain, and lost — and how finding rockhounding helped me reconnect with joy, rebuild my confidence, and rediscover my purpose.

Inspired by my first trip to the Last Chance Mine in Creede, Colorado, each stone was rockhounded, cut, polished, and handcrafted into silver jewelry by me in my Albuquerque studio.

Five pieces. Five parts of the journey.

Meet The Jeweler

I create handcrafted silver jewelry using stones I personally discover and collect because I believe jewelry should feel deeply personal.

Every piece is designed for women who want to feel confident, connected, and more like themselves when they wear it.

I’m drawn to stones with texture, character, and naturally striking details because those qualities are what make something meaningful. My work is inspired by the feeling of finding beauty in unexpected places and turning it into something wearable.

For me, jewelry is more than an accessory. It becomes part of your story. Something familiar you reach for every day because it feels uniquely yours.
