Michael Seiler
Nature inspired designs and beautiful unique gemstones
Michael draws much of his design inspiration from nature and Minnesota’s natural landscape.
The ring pictured above was inspired by Michael seeing the moon rising while the sun was setting in Lanesboro, while he was walking his dog. The green peridot represents the trees, and the citrine represents the sun slowly setting.

Liz Bucheit
A modern take on her traditional Norwegian and Sami ancestry
Liz Bucheit creates jewelry and body adornment inspired by her Scandinavian ancestry and keeps close ties to her heritage by drawing inspiration from Nordic folklore and myth.
These bracelets are inspired by techniques used by Sami people, the native people of northern Scandinavia. Originally reindeer herders, these bracelets are made using tin thread and reindeer leather, sourced from Sweden. Liz braids and sews all of these bracelets by hand at her studio in Lanesboro, MN.
We are so glad to have Liz’s jewelry at KD Fine Jewelers! She strikes the perfect balance between traditional technique with stunning modern design.
