I’m the designer and owner of Z. Harvest Gems.  I started exploring the idea of making jewelry with corn several years ago but it wasn’t until recently that I launched my first jewelry line.   I’ve always wanted to turn my creative energies into a small business, so I decided to go all in and see what would happen.   What a journey!

Not only do I get to create jewelry, but I’m able to connect with so many people and share our story while listening to theirs.   Through our conversations I am reminded that …  Life is a Blessing!  Even when we face trials and difficulties, we can persevere.

My desire is to create jewelry that reminds individuals that they possess the inner strength, faith, and love to overcome the hard times in life, especially those that seem to linger, intensify, and zap our strength.  Making jewelry helps me persevere through the trials and hardships that come my way.  I create each piece with the hope that I will be able to encourage others to overcome whatever it is they are facing.
