Meet InBloom

An award winning designer and goldsmith, Stacey has spent twenty five years cultivating a distinct design language deeply rooted in appreciation for the details of the natural world. Combining her design aesthetic with technical skills anchored in traditional techniques, her work presents a unique perspective. She finds her favorite creative experience to be working directly with clients and being inspired by their stories.

Her focus on mastery of traditional metal and goldsmithing techniques includes an expansive career studying many aspects of traditional jewelry making. Stacey started her study at the Maryland Institute College of Art Jewelry Center with Shana Kroiz. Her launch into custom fine jewelry was fueled by training with wax-carving expert Kate Wolf, advanced stone setting techniques under Blaine Lewis of New Approach School and private instruction with Sam Alfano; world recognized Master Engraver and pioneer of engraving education.

She is very excited to combine her knowledge of jewelry and passion for love to help create and find the perfect pieces for you.

A lifelong maker, Libby discovered the lure of jewelry making at a young age and first picked up the torch in 2001. Since then, she has worked in all facets of the jewelry industry, with the past 12 years spent in the fine jewelry sector. She brings the high standards and attention to detail required for luxury pieces as well as the passion and innovation of a born creator.

"I've always said that jewelry is never just an adornment, each piece we wear calls back to a moment in our lives that we will always remember. A family heirloom, a graduation present, wedding rings, even just a day when we decided to treat ourselves to something that delighted us, every piece has meaning. It's my privilege to have a part in giving those moments physical form"

Besides loving all things glittering and gold, Libby believes that you are never too old to play dressup and can often be found at medieval reenactments and renaissance faires. She also has a deep love for her cats, rubber ducks, and is addicted to popcorn

The newest addition to the InBloom Jewelry team, Jeremy, has been honing his skills for years. Initially as a goldsmith in the Midwest, then as a Graduate Gemologist (GIA) in southern California, and finally owning and managing a fine retail store in Oregon. After selling his store and relocating to Maryland, Jeremy continued to work with fine jewelry, conducting appraisals for local jewelers before joining InBloom Jewelry as our resident gemologist and production manager. He brings a well-rounded and comprehensive skill set that will greatly benefit our team and clients.

"Custom jewelry is truly my passion. Each piece is a personalized work of art and history. The techniques used to craft a ring can date back hundreds of years, and the gemstones themselves can be even older. We take these timeless elements and mold them into something deeply personal for each individual. There's so much to appreciate and love about custom jewelry."

When not immersed in work at the shop, Jeremy can be found cherishing moments with his lovely wife, chasing after their two young children, indulging in video games, and exploring local art shows for new and captivating pieces to adorn their home.
