Set in Stone A Wooster shop sells unique handmade gemstone jewelry.

“The jewelry is very personal and symbolic, and I’m always trying to lift people up,” says owner MacKenzie Haiss. “My mission is to spread charm and positivity.” She has been making one of-a-kind jewelry for over 40 years and sells a variety

of her handmade necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings at her Wooster store, as well as custom pieces. A daughter of a ceramics pro fessor, she loves the creative procecss and seeing a piece of jewelry come to life from start to finish.

Like the name of her shop suggests, the owner of MacKenzie’s Silver Lining likes to look on the bright side. That optimism and glass-half full attitude, along with

a sign on her door that says “Kindness matters,” inspire her to create meaningful jewelry and custom pieces that make the people wearing them feel special.
