Weiser woman starts business making western-inspired jewelry and clothing

Sydney Cobb has always wanted to run her own business. She even received an entrepreneurial scholarship from Weiser Classic Candy for the business savvy and interest she showed in high school.      Recently, Cobb has made those goals come true with her new business “Thirsty Cactus” – specializing in custom stamped jewelry and boutique clothing.
 Metal stamping is something that Cobb has been interested in for a long time. She saw an ad on Facebook advertising some custom stamped jewelry, but it did not have the western-inspired styling that she loves, so she decided to make her own.
 Cobb utilized online tutorials and Youtube videos, and with practice she was able to teach herself and began making custom jewelry. After growing her customer base for her jewelry, Cobb also added western inspired boutique clothing.
 With going to college and competing on the TVCC rodeo team, Cobb found that she had limited hours available to work for a traditional business, so she found herself more motivated to make her business work because it allowed her to set her own hours.
 When the quarantine hit, she was able to work even more on her jewelry and found it was the perfect time to expand into offering clothing that she loved to her customers as well.
 Originally, Cobb wanted to start a coffee shop, always envisioning Thirsty Cactus as the name, but when she started stamping and couldn’t think of a name, she decided to use the name for her jewelry instead.
 Cobb makes necklaces, hat pins, rings, earrings, and bracelets, but the imagination is the only limit, and has received custom orders for several unique pieces. While most of her jewelry is silver, she has also completed custom copper and leather pieces as well.
 She begins by stamping the metal, then shaping it and finally finalizes the color. While many of her customers come with some design elements in mind, Cobb also has several other designs consistently available on her website.
 Recently, Cobb has been able to experience selling her jewelry and clothing at booths during horse sales. She has really enjoyed having the opportunity to share her work in person and expand her customer base.
 Cobb loves clothing and fashion and hopes that this business can continue to be a great job helping her earn money for college. Cobb is studying elementary education at TVCC and hopes to be a second grade teacher in the near future.
 Thirsty Cactus clothing and jewelry is available to order on her website https://thirstycactusco.com/ and customers can also follow her to see her new designs and clothing available on Facebook and Instagram @thirstycactusco.
