Thank you for visiting Via Prairie.

Jewelry is uplifting to wear, thoughtful to give and effective in conveying a certain message to anyone in your life. Joy can be brought, memories can be made and the important moments can be symbolized. What matters to you?

Since I was a little girl, I've always held an unlearned fascination for my father's toolbox. Inside the box, I found various utensils; a hammer, a pair of pliers, a screwdriver, a handful of worn nails and other small instruments. For hours I would play with the toolbox alone and create things out of bits I found around. In a concrete city, I was a minority when it came to a love for tools. This love was further developed by the start of jewelry making. I started with beads, then wire, then chainmaille and eventually came to silversmithing. Studying, training and the years have strengthened my art, a long way from my father's toolbox and yet, I still create with the same passion. Today, I work as a metalsmith jeweler, running a local and online business. I'm so fortunate to do what I love for a living.
