She makes earrings and necklaces using natural gemstones and draws a lot of her inspiration from nature.

About: Started in 2015, Rancho Eyes is the jewelry project of Anna Weldon, an artist based in Rochester.

The practical engineering of functional, wearable objects is a pursuit of constant experimentation and improvement, and an inspiration in and of itself.
