I first experienced the joy of bringing an idea to life through silver in 2022. My partner and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary with a ring workshop. We spent a few hours learning, laughing, and creating a pair of matching White Buffalo statement rings — pieces that still feel like little time capsules of that day. I loved showing them to people and talking about the experience, so much so that I thought about that workshop for the next 3 years.

When we moved to Colorado Springs, I was immediately drawn to the city’s creative energy. One offering kept catching my eye: a series of jewelry workshops taught by metalsmith Lyndsey Rieple. In 2025, I finally stopped window shopping and took the classes - I’ve been hooked ever since!

Since then, I’ve been building my home studio and honing my skills — following my curiosity to learn more about the craft. This website is the next step in that journey, a place to share the pieces I create and the joy I find in making them.

If you’re in the Colorado Springs area and want to explore metalsmithing yourself, I can’t recommend Springs Jewelry Studio enough! Lyndsey is an incredible teacher who nurtured both my curiosity and desire to learn, and I’m endlessly grateful for the foundation she helped me build.
