Where nature's beauty becomes art you wear
Hello, beautiful souls. I'm Martha Thomas, the proud owner & artist of Ruby Acorn.
I'm happy to share my story with you—a journey that began with an affinity for handmade unique quality jewelry using natural beads & materials I buy from other artists.
My main inspiration is nature, and from nature grew a passion that continues to flourish every day.
I absolutely love what I do. There's magic in transforming raw materials into something that will become part of someone's story, something that will witness their journey, their joys, their milestones, their everyday moments of beauty. Each piece I create carries my hope that it will find its way to exactly the right person—someone whose soul recognizes something special in that particular design.
Proud Heritage
As a woman of color with proud Mexican roots, I bring the colorful richness of my heritage into every design—the warmth of family traditions, the vibrant spirit of celebration, and the deep connection to craftsmanship that flows through generations. My identity shapes not just who I am, but how I see beauty in the world around me.
Colorado Nature Inspiration
From my studio nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Colorado, I hand craft each piece with intention and love. The mountains outside my window, nature's tapestry of delicate wildflowers that seem to dance in the breeze, the way morning light catches on aspen leaves—all of these inspirations whisper their beauty into my designs. Every curve, every texture, every carefully chosen stone carries a piece of this magnificent landscape.
This small business is more than my livelihood; it's my heart made tangible. When I work alone in my studio, creating unique designs and selecting stones, I'm not just creating jewelry—I'm weaving dreams, capturing moments, and honoring the beauty that exists in both nature and the human spirit.
Since 2006 ...
Since 2006, I've been walking the path of a self-taught jewelry designer, learning not from textbooks but from the beauty of the components with which I work, artisan beads, gemstones, metals, and the endless inspiration and wisdom that surrounds us in nature. What started as curiosity has blossomed into nearly two decades of creating wearable art that I hope touches hearts and tells unique stories.
Heartfelt Wish
My heartfelt wish is that you'll discover a piece of wearable art that speaks directly to you, that expresses the unique and wonderful person you are. I hope you'll find something that tells your story—whether it's bold and adventurous, quietly elegant, or somewhere beautifully in between.
Unique Piece of Art
When you choose one of my creations, you're not just selecting jewelry; you're choosing a unique work of art that I hope you'll treasure for years to come. Wear it with pride, knowing that it was made with love, intention, and the hope that you will wear it in good health, great happiness, and long lasting peace.
Thank you for allowing my art to become part of your story.
With love and gratitude,
Martha Thomas
Owner, Ruby Acorn Jewelry
