. . . . . . . . . . . Each individual piece is completely fabricated by hand, with nothing casted or mass-produced. The stones that I incorporate have been uniquely formed by lapidary artist predominantly from the American Southwest. Materials used to create these works of art are samples of our Earth, therefore a high level of respect is given to the stone's natural beauty, as well as the precious metal.

Cheers to five wild and beautiful years of marriage today. 🥂

And cheers to five years of doing this business full-time.

When I decided to pursue Frontera full-time, Cliff believed in me long before there was any proof that it would work. He supported me emotionally when I wanted to dream bigger and helped make things work financially while I figured it all out.

The younger, fiercely independent version of myself struggled with that. I wanted to do it all on my own. But over the years I’ve learned that there’s strength in letting people show up for you. There’s strength in accepting support, trusting your community, and allowing yourself to be loved through the messy, uncertain parts.

Looking back, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come.

So here’s a little reminder to thank the people who help hold your dreams. Your spouse. Your friends. Your parents. Your therapist. The people who remind you who you are when you’ve forgotten. The people who encourage you to take the leap.

None of us get very far alone.

Cheers to partnership, community, and building a life bigger than we could have imagined. 🥂✨

HEY BOLO LOVERS — this drop is for you🤘🏽✨

The studio has been overflowing with colorful gems, silver dust, and a whole lotta creative energy lately. We’ve been crafting bold traditional bolos for him, her, them… alongside sweet little Bolitas with thinner cords and a more feminine feel.

Every piece is one of a kind. Made slowly, lovingly, and probably slightly sleep deprived. 🌀

More are already in the works.
We’re just riding the creative wave and seeing where it takes us. 💛

P.S. Construction is still very much underway outside the shop 🙃 but we’re open Wednesdays, Fridays, and most Saturdays this month. Come say hey!

I chopped my hair after this shoot.
Turns out I was carrying too much physically, emotionally, all of it.

Raising babies while running a business is beautiful chaos. I’m constantly surrounded by abundance and inspiration… alongside overwhelm and bone-deep fatigue. And honestly? I wouldn’t want it any other way.

After a lot of thought, we’ve decided to hold off on opening the shop full time until the bloody construction outside settles down. When will that be? Truly, your guess is as good as mine. Hopefully by the end of June. 🙃

So for now, we’ll keep doing what we’re doing—tending babies and planting seeds (aka dreaming up new designs) for what’s shaping up to be a wild, blooming summer season. 🌿

Thank you for riding the waves with me.
Abrazos!

P.S. took these sweet photos and I truly can’t recommend her more. ✨
