Why Wixia?

Uniquely Yours

Designed and crafted in small batches by one maker. Since the materials and where they’re sourced have so much variety, the combinations of materials are unique to each creation, and pieces are often one of a kind or in limited quantities.

Re-purposed Materials

Made out of deconstructed vintage and costume jewelry, secondhand materials, new components, and bits of nature. Every part is sourced as locally as possible and never drop shipped to reduce the environmental impact of shipping.

Stories

Over the past several years, I’ve hand collected many of the raw materials in places I’ve lived or visited.

Rose quartz from South Dakota, sea glass from Lake Michigan, mica from North Carolina, and others. Take a peek at the descriptions for stories behind some of the materials!

Variety

Pieces include a unique mix of crystals, resin, stones, glass, beads, solder, mixed metal, wire, clay, leather, dried flowers, oddities, and more.

I love combining a range of jewelry making techniques, leathercraft, metalwork, nature preservation, etc. in the same ornate piece.

Get First Dibs on the Weird Stuff

Meet the Maker

Wixia grew out of something I've been doing for most of my life: making things. I enjoy experimenting with all sorts of crafts and DIY projects, and I have a huge passion for repurposing, finding things as locally as possible, and keeping stuff out of the landfill.
