Stage Coach Mary Ring

1832–1914

Stagecoach Mary Fields was a trailblazing African American mail carrier in the Wild West. Known for her grit and resilience, she was the first Black woman to by employed as a star route carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. She gained her moniker from her preferred mode of transportation and was known for never missing a day - if the snow was too deep for the horses, she would deliver mail on foot with the heavy sacks on her shoulders. 

Lock and Key brings a touch of modern eclecticism and international cool to each collection. By fusing Native American beading with classic ball-and-chain Lock and Key connects the past with the present. Each piece is hand beaded/cut and/or loomed with the ball-and-chain interweaving with the beading seamlessly.

Inspired by a notable person in history with a big secret, each style has a little secret of its own to reveal. With an iconic lock charm finishing off each Lock & Key piece, our jewelry urges wearers to share their secrets, too
