The Adventure of Finding Rocks & Turning Them Into Jewelry

The Adventure of Finding Rocks & Turning Them Into Jewelry

A Journey into the Heart of Nature

From the moment my boyfriend and I started rockhounding, we were captivated by the raw beauty of nature's treasures. There's something truly magical about venturing into the desert, the sun casting long shadows as we search for hidden gems beneath the earth's surface. Each crystal and rock we uncover has its own story, formed over millions of years, waiting to be discovered.

The Birth of a Creative Passion

My love for crystals and jewelry was always there, but I found myself disappointed with the options available in most shops. The jewelry was often big and chunky or wrapped in wire, lacking the delicate elegance I craved. I wanted something different—pieces that felt as gentle and intricate as the natural formations themselves.

That's when inspiration struck. Why not create my own jewelry? Pieces that not only highlight the natural beauty of each crystal but also embody the elegance and simplicity I envisioned. And thus, Native Digs was born—a brand dedicated to crafting dainty, elegant jewelry that connects people to nature. This is something I hold very close to my heart as an indigenous woman.

The Crafting Process: From Earth to Elegance

Every piece of jewelry I create starts with a personal adventure. We travel to remote locations, hand-collecting each crystal straight from the source. This connection to the land is a vital part of my creative process. I carefully select each piece, envisioning the unique, minimalist designs they will become. The result is a collection of elegant, understated pieces that showcase the natural beauty of the crystals without overwhelming it. Every piece is a tribute to the land it came from and a token of the journey that brought it to you.

Why I Chose Dainty Over Chunky

In a world where bold, statement pieces dominate, I wanted to offer something different. My goal was to create jewelry that felt like an extension of the natural beauty of the crystals themselves. Dainty and elegant designs allow the wearer to connect with the earth in a subtle, personal way. It's about bringing a piece of nature's beauty into everyday life, without the fuss of heavy, ornate settings.

The Joy of Sharing Nature's Treasures

One of the most rewarding aspects of creating jewelry for Native Digs is sharing these beautiful, hand-picked crystals with others. Each piece carries with it the story of its origin—the place it was found, the journey it took to become a piece of jewelry, and the unique energy it holds. I take pride in knowing that my creations offer a unique, nature-inspired alternative to the mainstream crystal jewelry market.

Join the Adventure

Every piece of Native Digs jewelry is more than just an accessory—it's a connection to the earth and a celebration of nature's artistry. I invite you to join me on this journey, exploring the world of crystals and natural beauty in a way that's elegant, refined, and deeply personal.

Whether you're drawn to the healing properties of crystals or simply love the idea of wearing a piece of nature, Native Digs offers something special. Let's continue to explore and appreciate the beauty of the world around us, one dainty crystal at a time.
