Meet Linsey of Mesa Blue Jewelry! Linsey established Mesa Blue in 2009 while attending Texas State University. Growing up in El Paso she would shop at thrift stores with her mom to buy unique vintage jewelry, which she would deconstruct and redesign. She inherited her passion for stones and minerals from her dad, The Rock Hunter. Today she uses her love of natural materials and timeless designs to create each piece in her Dallas area studio.
Linsey, please tell us where we can find and shop for your beautiful jewelry.
What led you to start your business? How did you get started, and how has the journey been so far?
I've been making jewelry since I was a kid. I founded Mesa Blue in 2009, and our jewelry is now in boutiques all over the world.
What’s your favorite jewelry to make?
I love working with stones. My favorite thing to make is anything one-of-a-kind with beautiful stones.
What’s been your biggest success?
My proudest moments are when my 10-year-old daughter and her friends get excited wearing new designs.
What can we look forward to seeing at your booth this year?
I'm excited to introduce a charm bar this year and look forward to seeing our customers' stories through their designs.
Can you tell us one of the best pieces of advice you’ve received as an artist?
Stick to your style. Don't chase trends—design pieces you would wear.
What do you love most about running your business?
I love designing.
What is the most popular jewelry you sell?
Our adjustable bracelets have been a staple since the beginning!
What’s something people don’t think about when it comes to jewelry, but is SO important?
