Irie' Elements Jewelry-by Kara Zipprich Hayes Irie' Elements is a jewelry line completely hand made by Kara Hayes, I am a dual artist constructing With 10yrs experience including a B.F.A.

Irie’ Elements is a jewelry concept inspired by the bold and unpredictable elements of mother earth. in fashion design and apprenticing in the Virgin Islands, I have mastered the art of handcrafting glass jewels through a 16-hour design process. The process combines multiple shades and textures and layers of dichroic glass. A silversmith by trade I have married the two elements into a beautiful, h

andcrafted sterling silver and glass jewelry. Irie’ is the Caribbean slang for happy or feeling good. Creating one of a kind designs is my Irie’. My gift to you is the inspiration to be Irie’ through wearing my jewelry!

Fierce!

As I prepare to send my graduate out into the world, I spent the winter creating & reflecting on the 18 years leading up to this point.

This fierce design encompasses my oldest child’s attributes.

Balanced, sharp, eye catching, well rounded & bright, with a timeless flare all her own. I pray for the people who cross her. She is fierce, stoic & quietly bold.
She’ll drop truth bombs others wish they were brave enough to say.

“No one will change Campbell Hayes” was a powerful (spot on) statement spoken by one of her coaches.

I asked her, “What is the best thing I taught you?”

Without skipping a beat she replied, “How to go with the flow.” I feel sorry for people that can’t pivot and flow! The resistance is a waste of time & energy.”

I have no doubts she is ready to fly!

Thank you to everyone who has ever supported my business. Every. single. purchase kept me at home in my studio able to flow between raising her and creating for you! Sending you all so much gratitude.

19 years as dual artist I’m grateful I don’t feel the need to constantly “keep up” online.

Over the years, I poured my energy into creating durable, timeless pieces — work made to last, not just for a moment, but for generations. Because of that, I’ve been lucky to build a following that values craftsmanship, connection, and authenticity. Thank you!

There’s something deeply rewarding about knowing the work itself continues to speak for me. Every piece carries a part of my hands, my process, my history & my energy. Which I cultivate daily with intention.

Grateful for every person who has supported me, shared my work, worn it, collected it, and kept coming back to gift it.
That kind of support, I’ll never take for granted.

so although I don’t post much, just know, I’m still here working away every day in my studio creating pieces with intention, so that future generations can wear this quality crafted jewelry long after we are gone.
