About Stacie
Hello and welcome!
I’ve been shaping metal and chasing dreams for nearly two decades. In my late thirties, I felt a persistent yearning to step onto a new path—one of self-expression through jewelry. What began as a personal journey soon became a way to create pieces for others to wear as they walk their own path and live out their own dreams.
Many of the people who collect my work as a jewelry designer are artists themselves, which always feels like a beautiful kind of kinship. I’m a self-taught metalsmith, and because I never learned the “proper” way to work with metal, my hands found their own rhythm, along with their own language.
Recently, I also started experimenting with watercolors and pottery, and am trying to find my own voice with these new mediums, too.
I love to learn new ways of expressing myself and I continue to craft a life filled with creativity along with the joy of being ALIVE!
I”m most at home with metal jewelry, and each piece is crafted with intention, meant to feel like a companion on your journey. I hope you find something here that speaks to you and resonates with your story.
The Crafted Path…
I’m a jewelry designer, writer, painter, and Human Design guide creating handcrafted jewelry for self-expression and transformation. My work invites people to reconnect with who they truly are, beneath all the conditioning about who they think they should be.
I’ve started a Substack publication called The Crafted Path, where I explore what it means to craft your life from the inside out.
I’ve spent a lot of time in my studio trying other distill what working with my hands means in the broader context of life, and I’ve decided to share my insights and open up the conversation that we are all, by nature, creative.
If you are alive, you are creating your life by the minute, and constantly getting feedback about what you are creating in terms of your experiences.
So many of us do this without conscious intention, believing that life happens to us, instead of for us.
I believe we are here to learn how to create our life by using our imagination and our emotions as the needed friction to birth our chosen experiences.
I know, that’s a loaded idea, but one that needs to be explored, challenged and experimented with. In my own experience, I see how powerful my intentions are day to day, along with the power of a productive imagination.
What we believe is what we receive. It’s good to understand your core beliefs!!
My jewelry reflects life’s movement from one version of yourself to the next. My signature round rivets symbolize growth, resilience, and the beauty of change. The women drawn to my work are often in transition of some sort; either releasing the past, stepping into the unknown, or embracing their individuality.
Each piece serves as a touchstone, a reminder that we can honor our scars and still shine.
Beyond jewelry, painting, and writing– I share the Human Design System as a way for people to understand their natural brilliance and release self-sabotaging patterns. My approach isn’t about fixing anyone; it more about uncovering what is already inherent within yourself. It’s about helping you express what’s real, whether through what you wear, how you create, or how you live.
I’ve spent decades honing my path of crafting things from our world. From weaving clover necklaces as a child to running my own metalworking studio, each chapter has deepened my connection to the art of making. My work has appeared in Step By Step Wire Jewelry and Belle Armoire Jewelry magazines, and I’ve taught soldering and design workshops across the country.
After a few years devoted to caregiving and healing, I returned to the studio renewed—creating jewelry and paintings that celebrate transformation, connection, and the crafted path of life. I now work from my studio in Vinton, Virginia, continuing to explore the beauty that emerges through pressure, time, and patience.
It’s lovely that you are here.
