Gillian Mai Shelley is a self-taught jewelry artist. I was always drawn to the energies and colors of. After 3 years of slow experimentation through growing rainbow corn and turning the kernels into gems, Mama Maize was founded in 2023 - so you can adorn living, garden-grown seeds and always keep the miracle of life close. Each piece is crafted by drying the kernels for months to years, coating them in non-toxic epoxy, and pairing them with 18k Gold artisan designs - offering the same sparkle and elegance as traditional gem - without mining’s destructive impact. And, every purchase supports indigenous, women-led gardens. Through wearing Mama Maize, you are telling your story of appreciation, love, and care for our Earth.
