ART GECKO
Art Gecko is a working studio in Phoenix, AZ featuring the work of artist Lisa Nordstrom. Most of Lisa's work is in the collage/assemblage genre--what she's come to call "gatherings”. She’s also known for her wearable assemblages in the form of jewelry created with vintage, recycled, found (and sought after) objects. She exhibits at art fairs, is represented at numerous art centers and boutiques and, until her recent move to Arizona, owned Art Gecko Gallery in the Oak Park Arts District in Oak Park, Illinois.
Barbed Wire Jewelry
I love making jewelry! It is such a joy to twist, turn and hammer metal wire in to pretty things to wear and to share - add beautiful gemstones and beads and it becomes even more fun! I found jewelry making accidentally by losing a favorite earring that I loved and deciding to try to recreate. After just one afternoon of playing I knew I was hooked. Barbed Wire Jewelry is generally minimalist in style, the pieces may look simple but each piece is unique and made lovingly by my two hands. I pride myself in the attention to all the little details of shaping, hammering and wire work. I look forward to sharing my love with you!
NATURAL MINX
Natural Minx was born in 2016 when Kiza Moore left the worlds of theatre and fashion and combined a love of rocks, crystals, and nature at large with her need to create, falling head first into jewelry design. A year later, she added metal and fire, to offer a selection of jewelry pieces that range from classic every day wear to just-off-of-traditional one of a kind pieces. She puts great care into choosing the crystals, gemstones, and metals used in her work and is pleased to offer pieces that are not only fashionable, but also embody the attributes of the crystals and stones that go into their making.

REDHEART WOODWORK
Redheart Woodwork was founded in 2017 in Phoenix, Arizona. I grew up watching my grandfather doing woodworking and as I got older, he taught me some of his skills and gave me his old tools. I began making jewelry as a way to relax and center myself after work and this quickly shifted to wooden jewelry. As pieces began accumulating throughout my house, I began selling items at local stores and markets. I like to keep my pieces bold and simple and let the wood, stones and metal speak for themselves.
Sarah Madeline Jewelry
As a child, I enjoyed make jewelry from string, beads, and whatever I could get in my craft kit. In highschool, I moved onto ball chain, soda tabs and nail polish jewelry (90's!). In my early 20's I picked up the plier set my dad had given me and started collecting jewelry supplies. The pieces I made starting piling up and I decided to sell them to my waitress friends. This grew into selling in local shops, setting up at markets and more! I am self taught, always learning and growing, I like to experiement with different styles. My style is always changing as a result, but will have the Sarah Madeline signature look of simple and sweet. Thanks for stopping by.
STELLA’S BALCONY
My name is Stella and I am a second generation jewelry designer. I am a native Colombian and want to share my passion for Pre-Columbian style and precious gemstones, translated into my collection of hand-crafted, original pieces. Enjoy!
SUGAR FAIRY JEWELRY
Welcome to Sugar Fairy Jewelry. My name is Amanda and I’m a 3rd grade teacher and a mama to a sweet girl and a Golden Retriever.
When I grew up my mom made handcrafted jewelry. I would go along with my mom to our local bead stores and I would just admire the unique pieces she created. When I became a mama I asked my mom to teach me the basics and I quickly started designing and creating. The love I received from my family and friends with my first few pieces was heartwarming. I feel like it’s a dream come true to have this small business.
I hope that each piece makes you feel pretty and sparkly. Thank you for supporting my family and my love for jewelry.
