Kinsey Designs: Rekindled Dreams Sparked Timeless Designs
Kinsey Designs is a living dream revived — a tribute to the creative spirit, family support, and courage to pursue a true passion. Growing up in the historic town of Hot Springs, Arkansas, Ali Kinsey found a world of wonder in her grandmother's antique jewelry store. Encouraged by her grandmother's vivacious spirit, Ali penned her dreams onto the pages of her sketchbook at 12 years old, planting the seeds of a jewelry company.
During her formative years, Ali was exposed to centuries-old baubles, etching future designs in the creative corners of her mind. However, life steered her away from the creative pulse. While attending college, she was offered a job opportunity at a big-box retailer that promised stability and success. Ali had to choose between the bustling world of corporate success or the unexplored trail of her passion. In the stillness of her contemplation, her past sketches lay untouched, capturing the echo of her elusive dreams. Ali took a courageous step by following her heart's desire to fulfill her true calling.

The Passion
The passion for jewelry-making inspired her to start her brand. Procuring agate from local rock shops in Hot Springs, Arkansas, she created stunning pieces by combining this natural medium with remnants of her grandmother's collection. Initially, she sold her unique creations directly to boutiques, traveling and cold-calling to gain exposure.
