Where function meets fancy...
Just a one woman shop out here in rural Eastern Oregon. All pieces are fabricated in house using only the highest quality materials. Pieces are hand crafted from an assortment of metals including sterling silver, copper, brass, and steel.
All stones are sourced from genuine stone dealers and lapidary artist here in the United States.
All pieces are built to use and built to last. I pride myself in making hardy, heirloom quality gear that will stand the test of time.

Meet the Maker
I have always had a great appreciation for art and the gear of great horseman. There came a time I wanted a particular bit that you could not find in the average tack store. I started playing around in my dad's shop to make the "perfect" bit." My passion for metalsmithing and silversmithing grew from there. I started making jewelry with the intent to eventually make cowboy gear. I began combining the traditional and modern styles of metal and silverwork to create modern jewelry designs with a traditional western art edge.
In 2018 after I graduated from high school I took an engraving class with Diane Scalese at GRS in Emporia, KS. From there I began drawing and imaging everything I could embellished with western engraving. It wasn't until I left college when I had finally saved up enough money to buy my engraving setup. At the beginning of 2020 I slowly started making and selling jewelry and cowboy gear. The more I cut metal and shaped it into pieces of art the more I fell in love with the craft. At the end of 2020 I took another Western Engraving Class with Pat Horlacher in Burns, OR. After just a few days in rural east Oregon I knew I found my new home. At the start of 2021 I moved across the country to eastern Oregon to further my knowledge in silver and metalsmithing.
I am currently working in the shop making the Horlacher and Marsh Bits (formerly Marsh Bros and Al Tietjen). Here I am growing my skill set as a metalsmith and transitioning my work to handmade bits and hardware.
