Roadrunner Trail Jewelry will host an exclusive pop-up market at on Sept. 28 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Waystone Brewing, located at 2101 W Wadley Ave Suite 27.
The event will feature a stunning array of handcrafted jewelry by local designer Tallie Craigo, offering visitors the chance to discover unique, locally-made pieces in the warm and inviting atmosphere of The Waystone.
Craigo shared that her decision to hold the event at Waystone stemmed from her love of the venue.
“We love the vibe at The Waystone and the hand-crafted drinks they offer,” she said, adding that she has known the owners, Ted and Jaylyn, for years. “It felt like the perfect place to showcase my jewelry.”
The pop-up market will offer a variety of Craigo’s creations, including pendants, rings, bracelets, and earrings. Each piece is crafted with sterling silver, with some featuring accents of gold or brass for added contrast. Many of her designs incorporate gemstones, such as turquoise, amethyst, garnet, opal, and others.
“I strive to create pieces that are fashionable yet unique,” Craigo said.
What sets Roadrunner Trail Jewelry apart from other brands is Craigo’s commitment to local craftsmanship and ethical sourcing. She makes all her jewelry in her Midland studio, using metals from U.S.-based suppliers. Craigo also emphasized her use of lab-grown gemstones, which she incorporates alongside natural stones.
“Lab-grown gems are identical to mined stones but come without the exploitation or environmental damage,” she explained.
In addition to creating small batches of jewelry, Craigo also offers custom designs. Shoppers can request personal touches, such as stamping a special message or date on the back of certain pieces.
"Everything I make reflects my signature style, and I take pride in crafting pieces that feel meaningful and personal to my customers," she said.
For those attending the pop-up market, the shopping experience promises to be a unique and intimate event. Patrons will have the chance to find something special for themselves or pick up a thoughtful gift for a loved one. In addition, Craigo is offering an exclusive promotion for visitors.
“I’m offering a 15% discount on your purchase if you sign up for my Insider’s Club email list on my website,” she said.
Customers who sign up can show their email code at the event to receive the discount.
