Meet Kim
This enterprising horticulturist transforms delicate blooms into lasting jewelry - preserving their beauty forever, one petal at a time.
Hello!
My roots in the Blue Ridge Mountains of SW VA instilled a deep love for nature and the outdoors, a passion that persisted when I relocated to Richmond, VA in 2008. Living in the River City provides the chance to hike by the James River, enjoy white water rafting, visit public gardens, and drink a local beer all within the metro area. During the Covid-19 shutdown, I found myself with extra time. I delved into foraging and gardening, sparking a passion that led me to obtain a horticulture degree and floral design certification. I just love flowers! I started pressing them for fun and learned about resin crafting to preserve them. I also create my own resin pigments! Now, I combine my love of jewelry, nature, and color into one-of-a-kind pieces. Each flower has a story and will continue their journey with you. Thank you for your support!
All florals in my pieces may vary in shape/size if I make multiple of a certain design. Thanks!
