Tahmi

A self-taught artist who delights in unexpected contrasts, she creates contemporary handcrafted jewelry inspired by textiles. "I like to take the traditional arts of women and render them, not in gently yielding threads and yarns, but in hard metals to create stunning pieces of jewelry."

Ashley Verkamp

As a freelance illustrator and artist who currently resides in the rolling hills of southern Indiana, Ashley's unique art demonstrates her love and study of mythology, folklore, nature, and spirituality. She has a BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design, from which she graduated Magna Cum Laude with her major in Illustration. She has also studied art from the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Gretchen Cox

Each of Gretchen’s handcrafted jewelry pieces is lovingly created in her Las Vegas studio, from raw materials and components that have been carefully hand selected. She believes that she needs to “touch and feel” each strand of pearls, or natural stone in order to see and admire its beautiful imperfections and thus attends the Tucson International Gem Show each year to acquire her pearls, stones and sterling silver for the year. Gretchen's jewelry truly makes distinctive and unique gifts that warm the heart.

Josie Lamb

Kentucky artist, Josie Lamb Williams, of Mayapple Creations, has always been driven to build a stronger connection between the natural and human world, and her organic yet intricate jewelry is manifestation of this desire. All of the shapes in her jewelry are based on ancient symbols, and shapes found in nature. She carefully creates each piece from 100% recycled sterling silver, accented by Fair Trade recycled glass, Fair Trade pearls, and an eclectic variety of woodland materials. Every silver shape and finding is crafted with traditional hand tools (plus a very beloved rotary tool) and is finished with hammer, rubber mallet, and files to add texture and durability.
