My name is Amber Konradi. I work full-time as a licensed cosmetologist In Lincoln, Nebraska.

Gold Dust Collective is a reflection of my passion for artistry, individuality, and intentional design. What started as a creative outlet has grown into a space where handcrafted candles and wood earrings come to life—each piece thoughtfully made to be expressive, meaningful, and wearable.

My candle line is deeply personal, blending my creativity with artist collaborations to create unique designs inspired by art, music, and the world around me. Every candle is hand-poured with custom-blended scents, designed not only to evoke a feeling or memory but also to stand apart—exclusive scents that are uniquely my own.

My earrings, on the other hand, are inspired by what’s popular in small boutiques and the styles my salon clients love, keeping them fresh, versatile, and effortlessly wearable.

Sustainability is woven into everything I create, from sourcing materials from small businesses to producing in small batches with care and intention.

Handmade isn’t just about the product—it’s about connection, creativity, and bringing something truly special into the world.
