MissUpcycled
Small Batch • Eclectic • Intentional
I’ve never really fit into one specific aesthetic. I follow whatever catches my curiosity, exploring mediums like wirework, metalsmithing, and stamping. I create one of a kind jewelry with handpicked gemstones, raw metals, and recycled materials, often giving forgotten treasures a beautiful second life. Each piece reflects my curiosity, creativity, and love for learning.
✨ Metal 101
There is something incredibly special about raw metals that naturally develop a unique patina over time. This aging process is a completely normal, organic characteristic that gives handcrafted jewelry its striking depth and individual story. Whether you love that rich, antique character or a high polish, keeping your jewelry gorgeous is part of the experience:
🎁 Your Free Polishing Gift: To give you complete control over your look, every order comes with a FREE jewelry polishing cloth. Use it anytime to instantly restore your raw metals to their original, bright shine. (Full item specific care tips can be found on each individual listing!)
📦 Shipping & Returns
In alignment with Handmade.com’s Return Policy, returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery, provided the jewelry is sent back in its original, unworn condition. Original shipping fees are non refundable, and buyers are responsible for return shipping costs.

Origin Story
My creative journey began in Fruita, Colorado, where I fell in love with upcycling amongst a community of local musicians and artists. I started by upcycling thrift store finds into unique art, making quirky wind chimes, flowers made of neckties, fabric, and zippers, and incorporating discarded jewelry and various other findings into my wirework. Soon, I was consigning locally at The Vintage Common. In those early years, my design tutorials were even featured in publications like Bead & Button Magazine, including Wirework and Wire Jewelry Start to Finish. While my craft has evolved over the years, my core philosophy has never changed. Every piece is made with that original love for the unique and unexpected.
What Art Means to Me
For me, making art is all about getting lost in the process. It's the one time I am solely in control and emerge into it fully. I hope you can feel that joy and dedication when you hold it in your hands.
