Hi, I'm Karen

I'm a writer, climber, trail runner, silversmith, and dog mom. My work is inspired by and made to be enjoyed in the great outdoors, and I love nothing more than to climb a dusty desert crack while wearing my favorite pair of earrings.

Afterglow pieces are designed to remind you of your favorite memories; the ones made during a day of type 2 fun, or while watching the most perfect alpine sunrise, or that time you met your best friend along a winding trail.

Every piece I make is hand crafted using traditional silversmithing practices in my cozy home studio, nestled in the heart of Southwest Colorado. Care is always taken to source stones ethically from small-batch lapidary artists.

Interested in a custom piece? My customs are currently open with 1-2 month lead time. I LOVE crafting unique, meaningful pieces that will last a lifetime. From wedding bands to bolo ties- send me your ideas, and we can go from there.

For custom inquiries, please email karen@kwilliamscreative.com or message me on Instagram (@afterglowdesign.co).
