I love seeing these memories from a year ago! Today it’s the Cat’s Meow Ring, featuring a cast-in-place emerald or sapphire. Such a fun look back at where this journey has taken me!

So grateful for the opportunity to share Wild Sunflower Silver on Good Day Kansas! 🌻
It was so exciting to share more about my jewelry, workshops, and this little business I love so much.
I’m proud of myself for saying YES to opportunities that scare me a little and stepping outside my comfort zone. I’m learning that’s where growth happens!
So excited for what’s ahead for Wild Sunflower Silver! 🤍

✨ From wax to finished rings ✨
The workshop rings are finished and ready to go home! Each one began as a piece of wax, carved and designed by my students, then cast into sterling silver.
I’m so proud of each of them and love seeing their ideas become something they can wear and keep forever.

Design • Create • Cast • Wear Your Story

A special shoutout to my intern, MalsGems Jewelry , for all your help. I truly couldn’t do it without you! 🤍

Ah, one of my favorites—the Lola Gene Ring, named after my grandparents, who inspired me to start my jewelry business. ❤️
This ring is available in sterling silver and gold and features a beautiful lab-grown emerald surrounded by baguette moissanites.

I created it as a reminder to live fully, love deeply, and honor what matters most.

My wax models are striking a pose. ✨

I love watching a wax model come to life as I add the gemstones to it. Every piece I create starts in wax and is then cast into sterling silver or gold.
There’s something so special about watching an idea transform into a beautiful piece of wearable art.

✨ Wear Your Story: Student Spotlight ✨

Today I’m excited to introduce you to Devynn and share a little about their experience, inspiration, and the piece they created during the workshop. Stay tuned for more student stories and the beautiful pieces created through the art of using soft wax.

Name? Devynn

First workshop? Yes! I’ve never worked with wax in this way before.

Why did you sign up? I loved the idea of being able to make my own piece of art that I can wear every day.

Favorite part? Being able to just zone in, get creative, and learn new skills.

Tell us about your piece... I made a “Jesus fish.” I wanted to incorporate my faith into the piece since I would be wearing it every day. I added tiny hearts and flowers as well because of whimsy.

One word to describe the experience? Grounding

Would you recommend it? A million times yes!

Finish this sentence: “Everyone should take this workshop because…” It’s never too late to learn new things!

Look at these keepsake charms from a recent mobile workshop! 🌻✨

I absolutely LOVE seeing what people create in my workshops. One of my favorite things about what I do is getting to share soft wax, wax carving, and lost wax casting with others—and then seeing them wear the story they created.

Did you know I offer private and mobile workshops? I’d love to help you design, create, cast, and wear your story! Message me if you’re interested in bringing a wax workshop to your group, event, or special gathering. ✨
