Howdy! My name is Kyle

I grew up in a small town in Kansas. In 2021, I moved to Salt Lake City in search of something I had always been drawn to - mountains, nature, and the kind of beauty you can only find outdoors. I've always had a fascination with rocks and dreamed of one day owning a claim of my own.

That passion became real when I met my partner, Rylie. His grandparents invited us to their rock claim, where his grandfather showed me how to dig up a raw stone and transform it into a polished cabochon. That experience stuck with me immediately. Watching something raw from the earth become something beautiful and finished was something I knew I wanted to keep doing for the rest of my life.

Why Jewelry?

I started exploring ways to turn that passion into something more, and jewelry became the perfect path. I taught myself silversmithing and how to use a lathe so I could turn the stones I worked with into something wearable - something people could carry with them every day.

Today, I create rings, earrings, pendants, and other pieces that all begin the same way: with the stone. Each piece is designed around the natural shape, color, and character of the material, allowing it to guide the final design. My goal is always to highlight the raw beauty of the stone while turning it into something both durable and meaningful

The Process

Every piece I make is handcrafted from start to finish. I don't use mass-produced settings or factory-made components-each design is built by hand to fit the individual stone it holds.

My approach is simple: start with something natural, and shape it into something timeless. I focus on creating jewelry that feels organic, intentional, and personal-pieces that look like they belong to the stone, not just something placed around it.

As of today, I am constantly growing in my craft. While jewelry is my foundation, I've begun exploring other materials like leather and expanding into new types of work. For me, creating isn't just about mastering one skill-it's about continuing to learn, experiment, and find new ways to bring natural materials to life.
