About Stubborn Sloths

Stubborn Sloths is a small‑batch handmade jewelry and keepsake studio based in Las Cruces, New Mexico, specializing in nature‑inspired designs, magnetic gauged earrings, wire‑wrapped rings, custom pieces, and resin creations. Every item is crafted with intention, personality, and a little sloth‑level calm — made for people who love meaningful, slow‑crafted art.

Where It All Started

Stubborn Sloths began as a creative outlet during a time when life felt heavy and uncertain. Making jewelry became a way to reconnect with joy, color, and playfulness — and eventually grew into a full‑time passion. What started as a single pair of earrings has become a growing collection of handcrafted pieces inspired by nature, gemstones, and the beauty of slowing down.

What We Make

Every piece in the shop is made by hand, one at a time, with attention to detail and a love for small imperfections that make handmade art special. Our collections include:

  • Magnetic gauged earrings for stretched lobes (0G and up)

  • Wire‑wrapped rings featuring seed beads or 3mm faceted gemstones

  • Dangle earrings in nature‑inspired and whimsical themes

  • Resin trays, jars, and keepsakes

  • Custom jewelry and personalized gifts

  • Limited‑run seasonal drops

Whether you’re looking for something bold, delicate, meaningful, or playful, there’s a piece here that fits your vibe

Why “Stubborn Sloths”?

The name comes from embracing the idea that it’s okay to move at your own pace — creatively, emotionally, and in life. Sloths remind us to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the process. “Stubborn” is the determination to keep going, keep creating, and keep choosing joy even when life gets messy.

Together, they represent the heart of this brand: slow‑made, intentional, and a little quirky.

Handmade With Heart

Every order is crafted, packaged, and shipped by one person — me. I choose materials carefully, test designs for comfort and durability, and make each piece with the hope that it brings someone a moment of joy or connection.

Handmade means:

  • No mass production

  • No shortcuts

  • No identical duplicates
    Just real art made by real hands.

Custom Work Welcome

Some of my favorite pieces come from customer ideas. If you’re dreaming of a custom design — a memorial piece, a special gemstone combination, a unique gauged earring style, or a personalized gift — I’d love to bring it to life.
