Rare Soul
Rare Soul combines the beauty of natural raw materials with precious metals to create unique designs for your creative soul
Founded in 2016, self-taught metalsmith Amy Miner handcrafts each accessory in her small studio space nestled within the rolling hills of southwestern Pennsylvania. She uses her creative skills to design unique, wearable pieces with a focus on craftmanship, quality, and fashion. Amy hand selects each gemstone and mineral and combines with hand forged precious metal to create her one of a kind accessories.
Rare Soul was born out of necessity. After suffering the devastating loss of her parents and other close family members, Amy needed a creative outlet to help manage her grief. This business is a way to showcase the creativity that was sparked, nurtured, and encouraged by those rare souls. Amy's hope is that you feel love, encouragement, and a creative spirit each time you wear Rare Soul.

Gelme Designs
I have been making my own clothing since I was 7 years old when I knitted my very first vest. I always wanted to express myself in unique ways and stand out from the crowd, to be noticed as an individual in the masses; I believe I’ve been successful at this. We all try to be different, individualistic, and noticeable--standing apart from the masses. Yet we still try to blend in as well. From a philosophical point of view, we are an individual part, while at the same time we are a part of everything - monada - which travels to separation and then back to the blending into absolute. I knit, I sew, I quilt, I make jewelry, and I do felting. I fell in love with felting. Wool is just the right material for me because I love natural stuff! I did not invent felting. It was invented thousands of years ago, and in many cultures, it was forgotten over the years. I have attempted to try to adapt these methods to the present, using and mixing different techniques, thereby producing truly amazing and beautiful textures and “painting” with wool. Every piece of clothing I make is truly handmade, because I literally make the material from raw wool, combining it with silk, linen, or other materials. I love what I do. I love it because it is pure and simple. It demands patience. It demands a lot of personal handworks, and with my hands, I can show my energy, as well as a part of my soul in every piece that I make. But most important, it is so UNIQUE. No one piece can be repeated. Every piece will always be a little bit different, even if you try to copy it, because the creation of each piece depends on so many different factors, along with the love I put into my work.

Ashria Designs
Ashria Designs was founded by sisters and best friends, Ashley and Maria. We are a small family run business located in a suburb outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We grew up crafting with our Mother and Grandmother. We decided to start this business together, hoping to continue the creative family fun and start new artistic traditions with our own kids. This has been a very long, stressful and rewarding journey. Throughout it all we have shared a lot of laughter, tears and "Oh no!" moments. We have worked countless hours perfecting all our designs. Once we established our custom designs, printing and pressing business, we decided to branch out with a children's boutique. We had discussed this for a long time, and it felt like the perfect next step for us. As moms, we have always loved finding unique, comfortable, and stylish pieces for our own children, but we often found it hard to find everything in one place. That inspired us to create a boutique of our own - one that reflects our creativity, our love for family, and our passion for quality. Our children's boutique is an extension of everything we've built so far, combining our custom designs with carefully selected pieces that we truly love and believe in.
Gemstone Devotions
Having travelled various religious and spiritual paths over the past 15+ years, I was recently graced with an outlet that combined my newfound hobby of faceting gemstones with the heartfelt need to "practice the presence of God", to remain in His Love as Jesus exhorts us. Hence, Gemstone Devotions was born to share this Love with You.
Gemstone Devotions was eventually founded in August 2025 as a response to "The Call" -- a still, small voice which beckoned me to make rosaries one early July morning, the sun still asleep. And though at the time I was both adverse to prayer and a self-styled Zen Buddhist, puzzling as this was, yet somehow my heart felt at ease and I knew I had to follow.
Over the next several months things quickly evolved, transforming a hitherto aimless hobby into creating Rosaries and Art for The Heart and its Beloved. And it was also becoming clear this was more of a ministry, more about Souls and less about sales; meeting with people to share in our Journeys of Faith. I even became a reseller for several publishers to offer books to compliment my wares; to better lead souls to Jesus through Mary, the very selfsame Path that led me back to the Church.
All of my pieces feature semi-precious gemstones faceted for the sterling silver cross pendants and mounts with amethyst, topaz, and rhodolite garnet being the most popular. My rosary beads range from simply elegant black onyx and rose quartz to exotic pink tiger eye and African turquoise, while my artwork features sacred images and icons decoupaged onto wood (typically poplar) accented with gold painted molding/trim.
Each piece takes approx 5-6 hours to create and is literally wrapped in my prayers for you!!
Wishing you the Love and Peace of Christ,
--Thomas Zimmerman
Artist, Owner, and Fellow Traveler
