Meet Bling - A 1966 Apache Pop Up Booth

There's a moment at every art show when someone stops walking.

Not slows down. Stops. Dead in their tracks, mid-stride, coffee in hand — because something caught their eye that they weren't expecting. At Embezzled Metals shows, that something is almost always Bling.

Bling is a 1966 aluminum pop-up camper. She has BBBLING on her license plates, raw-edge redwood countertops, and more turquoise than she knows what to do with. She is, without question, the most opinionated booth in any show she attends.

She didn't start as a booth. She started as a vision — a way to bring the full world of Embezzled Metals into a space that felt as handcrafted and intentional as the jewelry itself. Every detail inside her was chosen the way I choose a stone: for its character, its history, its story.

Necklaces drape from wooden necks and rusted tractor grills. Earrings spin on rotating panels made from old redwood fence pickets and vintage Mercedes grills. My bolo ties — a cowgirl's signature — live on copper fire hydrants. A few plants soften the edges. A fur or two grounds it all in something warm and tactile.

The palette is exactly what you'd expect from a jeweler who was raised a cowgirl and spends her summers diving for sea glass: turquoise, gold, copper, silver. The same colors that run through every piece I make.

Men love her most. I can't explain it entirely — maybe it's the vintage aluminum, maybe it's the mechanical repurposing of tractor parts and Mercedes grills, maybe it's just that she's unexpected. I've had more purchase offers for that camper than I can count. She's not for sale. But everything inside her is.

Bling is the story of Embezzled Metals made physical. A one-of-a-kind space for one-of-a-kind jewelry. Handcrafted with intention, one at a time.

Come find her at a show this season. You'll know her when you see her.
