Meet The Maker
Hi, my name is Eli. I am a native Floridian, based in Tampa FL. I began making chains in 2020 and have not been able to put it down since, it is a practice of patience and love and I am grateful and eager to always be improving and learning almost five years later. I have spent many many weekends popping up around the bay area selling jewelry & occasionally vintage wares. After popping up over 100 times I have found what events tend to work best for me & am happy to call Indie Flea, Heyday, New Moon Makers Market, and Groovehive my happy homes.
In 2025 I am continuing to expand my business practices to focus more on engaging online so that I can spend a bit more time in my studio! But I am happy to add a new addition to my rotation - The Oddities & Curiosities Expo! I’m heading out of Tampa Bay for the first time ever & going on tour to Atlanta, Chicago, New Orleans, Philly, & Jacksonville this year!!!
I now co-host Heyday Tampa alongside my dear friend Kirby, as she has moved away & we wanted to keep it alive! It’s an amazing alternative vintage and makers market that started a few years ago & frequently has popped up in some of the coolest spots in town like The Dirty Shame, The Orpheum, & La Setima Club. To find out more about Heyday follow us on IG @heyday_tpa
My other interests include practice on the pottery wheel, scifi & horror novels + movies, going to shows in my local scene, 35mm + instant film photography, & spending time with loved ones
It is my absolute pleasure & privilege to be here on this journey - it is hard to sum up in to words just how weaving metal has completely transformed me & I thank you for being a part of it!
If you’d like to chat about my work, collaborate, or give me your favorite movie, podcast, book, or album recommendations - I am best reached by email ladydaisychains@gmail.com

My current turn around time is often just a few days as I like to stay well stocked on ready to ship items as well as supplies on hand but occasionally I may need up to two weeks which would be stated in item description.

Stainless Steel in my opinion is the best everyday metal! It comes at a lower cost than sterling silver or gold and yet it is stronger. Stainless steel won’t tarnish or rust & you can take it in the shower pool or ocean. It is also hypoallergenic and works for many people with skin sensitivities & it will not turn your skin green. If you ever need to clean up your stainless pieces simply wash with soap and water.

Occasionally a lobster clasp will break or an earring hook has snapped & I am more than happy to replace or repair any issue to get your piece back in to wearable condition!
Resizing a purchased piece is also free as I would love your jewelry to fit well & you to be happy
I do ask in the case of repairs/resizing you either drop off locally or ship the piece to me & I will cover the return shipping.
