I am Holiday Manning, a silver jewelry artist. Using metals, hand tools, and beads to build the pieces that I dream up. All Design, fabrication, waxwork, and finishing are kept in house to individualize the pieces. Casting work is done off site (for now). I provide product for stores, boutiques, galleries, gift shops, and individuals.

In high school, I started making beaded jewelry for friends and family as a creative outlet and inexpensive gifts. This progressed for years into custom work, farmers markets, and small local shows. After marriage, a toddler, and new baby, I needed to have a creative outlet and time to myself. I pursued challenges in jewelry by taking silversmithing classes, setting up a shop, and creating my business Soli Jewelry, named after my girls.

With a background in horticulture and public speaking, teaching classes and designing nature inspired jewelry has been a fluid decision. I thrive in the suburbs of Phoenix on a small farm brimming with kids, plants, and animals. My husband and I have been “green” for many years and feel strongly about living an environmentally conscious and sustainable life.
