Irie' Elements is a jewelry line completely hand made by Kara Hayes, I am a dual artist constructing With 10yrs experience including a B.F.A.

Irie’ Elements is a jewelry concept inspired by the bold and unpredictable elements of mother earth. in fashion design and apprenticing in the Virgin Islands, I have mastered the art of handcrafting glass jewels through a 16-hour design process. The process combines multiple shades and textures and layers of dichroic glass. A silversmith by trade I have married the two elements into a beautiful, h

andcrafted sterling silver and glass jewelry. Irie’ is the Caribbean slang for happy or feeling good. Creating one of a kind designs is my Irie’. My gift to you is the inspiration to be Irie’ through wearing my jewelry!

An amazing story unfolded for me recently. In 2018 I crafted the Unity bracelet, an idea my step mom came up with 7 years prior. In 2020 I listened to a soul filling audio book called Green lights. I crushed on this book so hard I purchased the hard copy for two meaningful men in my life, while skimming through the pages I noticed my symbolic bracelet design was feature on each page. Wild! Fast forward to 2024 my husband was invited to a conference & the guest speaker was the author of the book Matthew McConaughey! Life is a series of intrinsically connected events & I’m so grateful I get to see the magic unfold time and time again.

Playing with 24k gold seems crazy at 2400. an oz but somethings are worth the risk.

Reason 2 I hadn’t been posting…..4 years ago I was hustling…I was moving at an upward pace like society conditions us to. I was juicing productivity from every min and squeezing in as much as possible. May 8/2020 I jumped on the lawn mower attempting to cut some of my husband’s evening burdens. 3 quarters of the way through I heard a little voice say, “Park it you’ve done enough”… 5 mins later a little voice said, “sure is a cold day for a swim.” Weird I thought I’m not a May swimmer. A min later I lost control of our lawn mower by the rocky lake side. Stubborn to save the mower (you know, to not disappoint anyone or waste money) in freakishly slow motion I went in side ways with the Dixie chopper while screaming “I’m not ready yet! My babies! My babies are inside don’t let them find me like this.”

My next point of awareness was realizing I was still alive but completely submerged with my leg pinned ….the mower was still humming (the auto shut off had been disengaged the week prior. The roll bar was also down to avoid low hanging tree branches). Holding my breath I started forcefully jimmying my leg back and forth into the mud bottom lake digging a trench. I freed more and more of my long ass leg as I worked the trench deeper & deeper. At that time the mower seized up, the blade stopped spinning & I was finally free to get air. I crawled out of the lake gasping & crying like a baby taking its 1st breath. Pure gratitude flooded my sobbing being. Realizing from that day forward I’ll forever slow down and listen to that strong inner voice. Fully clothed, drenched & sobbing I met my kids at the door.

The tears continued for two weeks but the love I felt from my family was indescribable & after much introspection I realized if the emotions are this intense than something is being asked of me. I could sit crying about the traumatic memories & tell the world the dangers of zero turn mowers or I could use it to catapult me in a new direction a more refined aligned direction for my family & I.

💫Emotions are evolutionary medicine. Emotions are a call to action. Feel them deeply, then use them to move you. Don’t get stagnant by ruminating.

So in the last 4 years I’ve shifted A LOT! I needed to take time to find the words to articulate my new understanding and one thing for certain is this;

When I post I’m not posting to sell sell sell…I don’t want to be a hamster on a wheel or a work horse chasing the next carrot.

I’m posting to connect. If you feel connected to something I’ve said or did or I sparked a feeling inside you or you are drawn towards something I’ve created with my hands & heart than that is a soul filling existence for me.

In our final hours of life it’s our heart felt connections we curate that makes life complete. These connections are the key to peace & fulfillment. No one ever says I wish I would have worked more on their death bed.

My pace now is deeper, slower & consciously authentic. The pace society pushes is fear based, competitive, money driven & exhausting. Of course it would be! It’s a way to pay in more taxes & break your body down faster so you’ll need expensive medical attention. It’s a cycle.

I wanna be me, and I want to encourage you to be you. We all have gifts and we are all a piece of this intrinsically connected energetic puzzle called eARTh. I’m thankful I get to be a part of this humanly experience a bit longer……

oooooo and that zero turn Dixie chopper lawn mower it still runs! 💫 🤷🏼‍♀️

If you had a close call or a near death experience reach out. I’ve actually had 6, some of us are extra stubborn. 😉👊🏻💪🏻

The story of these 3 cremation keychain pieces is so heart warming & sad. With permission to share… an aging mother in her 100s hung on to life for years but once she got word her ill son had moved on from this life she too let go. Their passings were within a 45 min window of time. This story truly defines the power of love. Holding space for both emotions is possible and this mother showed her family just that. Bitter sweet peace for the entire family. I was so honored to merge their ashes for a healing keepsake.

This kitty passed away, to keep her mother’s mourning process a little less heart wrenching and a little more healing I created this custom cremation stone to match Sniffles signature markings. A keepsake that can be worn daily & will last a life time.

A moon ring in honor of the full moon tonight! I’ve been studying the moon for 3 years, it started as a New Year’s resolution & WOAH there is so much amazing info to grasp… The most important take away I can share is this

As the light of day dissipates so should the demands we put on our brains. The mind does not have obedience until it is taught….it needs continuous training. The greatest gift you can give yourself is the ability to control your own mind before it controls you. RESt equals more progRESs.

Give Peter Crone - The Mind Architect a follow for so many juicy mind tricks! His story is so inspiring. 🥰

Lots of people have been asking about my long pause off social media. They also ask if I’m still making jewelry?….know this…..I’ll NEVER stop creating!!! Always reach out!

Reason 1 of many….

The most import reason (of all my reasons) for taking a social media break is I’m raising this beautiful teen daughter &…….I intuitively know in my soul social media has no intrinsic value for her at this age (on a personal level).

I don’t want her on any social media.
So I wasn’t on social media.
I want her to focus on her foundation.
So I built my foundation stronger.
I want her sports & academics to come 1st.
So I practice her sport with her & I spend time reading and researching to gain knowledge I hope to turn into deep wisdom.
I want her to connect with humans face to face.
So I built my friendships deeper and took lots of fun random adventurous with my people.
I want her to use her time to rest & eat well.
So I spent more time resting, exercising and eating well.
I want her to create with her hands so I kept creating with my hands.

The only way to lead the next generation is by taking action 1st, lead them by doing not by preaching.

I believe children are our greatest teachers, they mirror back to us what we need to adjust, if my children trigger or upset me….. well then I’ve found the area I need to take a deeper look at within.

We are always being lead. Make sure you have a good leader you are following. I want to be that leader in my home.

Brains and sports will only get one so far in the world. Emotional intelligence is the new way to achieve inner peace & success. The ability to communicate clearly is the #1 skill to teach our kids. If they can effectively communicate… life will happen for them not to them.

We’ve become a country of “listen to me” we need to become a country of deep listeners & feelers. When we listen deeply we can hear more than the noise that creates anxiety in the world, we can actually hear the truth from within. 💫

I’ll be teaching Campbell how to use social media from a point of entrepreneurship moving forward, her and I can continue to learn together. ✌🏻

When Jana (client) handed over her antique stones I had instant déjà vu. I knew exactly what the stones looked like prior to her delivery, I had seen them sitting in my own hands 🙌🏻 Jana quickly reminded me the stones had been lost for years and there is no way I had seen them before.

I’ll never fully understand these intense precognitive dreams of mine but damn I love the flow they create for me. 💫

I know I know I haven’t posted in ages….my why is to follow…maybe tomorrow. 😉

“Love loves to love love”-James Joyce❤️

“Release the fear & meet yourself & those you care for with unbounded love & devotion.”-Devi Brown

It was an honor to create this pendant with the cremation ashes of one very outspoken, honest & loyal lady. The genuine love she expressed for her family throughout the years was moving to me. I got to witness many of the dedicated bonds she formed. May you rest in deep peace knowing your family is holding you close in an array of colors you would have enjoyed. 🥰

Both kids are in school & I’m back in the studio full time. It’s a mixture of excitement and exhaustion & my dog is def reflecting my vibes! Sell, celebrate, create, repeat.

“Death is the reward of living. It isn’t to be feared.”

I heard this quote in an audio book recently and it’s such a refreshing perspective especially as we all are facing deaths in some capacity.

Until it’s your time……

“Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N.” (Wooderson)

A special request for some elk ivory bracelets. They had the teeth, I had the time. 😉

Some moments I’m a silversmith & some moments I’m a jungle gym. Learning to constantly pivot while staying calm & smiling is the ongoing challenge, but I found the secret lies in a solid self care routine. 🧘🏼‍♂️💫 😉

How many roles are you juggling daily? Have you ever counted them?.........I have 10.
