Meet the Maker

Hey y'all, 

I am a self-taught metalsmith, with a passion for sterling silver and turquoise. I've always loved sterling silver jewelry... in fact, I'm not sure that I've ever worn gold in my life! I'm a citizen of Cherokee Nation, so Native American pieces (specifically the turquoise pieces) have always been my go-to accessories.

I was raised in small town Arkansas, and later moved to Nashville, TN to get a taste of 'the big city.' I spent 8 years making Nashville my home -  finishing college, getting my MBA, landing my dream job in marketing, and spending plenty of nights out on the town with my girl gang. 

During my first summer of college, I decided to trek out to Colorado and work on a dude ranch for 3 months... where I met a handsome cowboy. Well, you know how it goes -  that cowboy went back to Ohio, and I went back to Nashville. And that was that. 

Until it wasn't. 7 years later, we decided to take a leap of faith, and I left home again. I currently reside in Columbus, OH, with my boyfriend, Chris and our dog, Charlie. 

I hope my pieces bring you an ounce of the joy they've brought me while making them. Thank you for supporting my small business!

 

Loyally,

Tara
