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 nearly a decade, I knew our community would love all that is permanent jewelry and was eager to be the first 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 jewelry store, Bezyl, where I have customized, handmade gemstone jewelry, piercings, in-house engraving, and so much more!

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 introduced western South Dakota to the trend, love to collaborate with other events and businesses, and continue to bring excellence and luxury wherever we go!
