Hi, I am Kristen!

I am the founder of Saldare Permanent Jewelry that started right here in Spearfish, South Dakota! Having been in the jewelry industry for over 5 years, I knew our community would love all that is permanent jewelry and was eager to be the first luxury permanent jewelry experience in the Black Hills! I grew up in a small town of Pillager, Minnesota, and in the fall of 2019, my family and I headed to Spearfish and planted our roots. My family of 5 (husband and 3 boys) have truly loved it here every moment! My other passion project is my other jewelry business called Royal Bear Designs where I create hand-crafted jewelry using raw, natural gemstones with a unique process called electroforming, specializing in custom birthstone jewelry!

I love spending free time with my family, being outdoors, hiking in the hills or riding the trails in our side by side, traveling as often as I can, and carving out time for personal development.

Starting Saldare was a dream from the start. We are now a team 5 and continuously growing across the nation providing a golden opportunity for fellow, like-minded, driven entrepreneurs. And this is just the beginning!
