Lucky Star Trading Co.

Lucky Star Trading Co is a jewelry brand that strives to create one-of-a-kind pieces by blending elements of Americana and vintage style. Our pieces are handmade with fire and anvil, metal and stone, and you can dress them up or dress them down. Whether you're performing on stage, taking a road trip out West, or attending a formal event, you can take a lucky piece of the stars with you wherever you go. 

Mike started Lucky Star Trading Co in 2025 as a way to start selling his jewelry, consisting mostly of Sterling Silver and Turquoise stones mined in North America, among other metals and stones from around the world.  

Mike also works as a Radiation Therapist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, and plays lead guitar for the Rochester roots rock band, Clay Fulton & The Lost Forty.
