hi, i’m xena!

born and raised in the mountains of western north carolina, i draw inspiration from the diversity, whimsy, and beauty of the world around me. i started wire by xena with the vision to create simple, durable jewelry that spreads joy.

i love to create intricate designs inspired by my childhood doodles, local flora and fauna, and the imperfectly perfect ways of the natural world. the mission of the business is to introduce elements of wonder, silliness, and play into daily life through wearable art.

thanks for finding me and my art!
