Amy Stockhaus was craving a creative outlet, so she decided to start Rileyhaus, a visual diary of her own inspiration.
Her passion project transformed into a luxurious yet sustainable jewelry business when her parents moved out of her childhood home, with her mom gifting Stockhaus a plethora of old jewelry in 2022. “Much of it was mismatched, broken, and out of style,” she says. “It became fun to reimagine those pieces. I gave them a new story with a new life and immediately fell in love. When I began exploring design, it felt like a fire was lit within me.”
Rileyhaus’s avant-garde and soulful collections are influenced by authenticity, character, art, the past, exploration and emotion. “My designs embrace historic, artisanal elements while offering a new meaningful story,” Stockhaus said.
Her made-to-order accessories are truly a labor of love. In anticipation of her upcoming collection, “Lume Di Candela,” Stockhaus immersed herself in months of studying the technique of shaping glass through flame and mastered the complex art of flame-blowing to create every glass flower herself. “I really want people to feel special when they wear my work,” she says.
