Hi, I’m Ryan Diaz, the creator behind Wild Sunflower. By day, I’m a personal chef, but my passion for creating beautiful things has always extended beyond the kitchen. What began as a simple hobby of beading and wire work, has grown into a love for silversmithing and designing jewelry that celebrates the natural beauty of metal and gemstones.

As a mother of two and a wife, I know how important it is to find things that bring joy and meaning into everyday life. My journey into jewelry design began as a way to express myself creatively, and over time, it blossomed into something more. I started selling at local craft fairs, where I quickly fell in love with the incredible women I met—each with her own unique story and style. The feedback and connections I made were truly inspiring, and I knew I wanted to share my designs with a wider community.

I’m a proud lover of all things handmade, from the jewelry itself to the paper used for my earring cards. Everything I create is infused with love, care, and the same dedication I put into my family and my work as a chef. When I’m not designing jewelry, you’ll find me spending downtime at our family cabin in West Virginia, embracing slow living and reconnecting with nature. My dog, Dude, is always by my side, and together we enjoy simple moments that remind me of the beauty in the world around us.

Thank you for supporting me and my creations. I hope each piece of jewelry brings a little sparkle and joy into your life, just as crafting them brings me joy every day. Wishing you peace, beauty, and plenty of moments to shine!
