Meet the Team

Lydia made the jump from the world of recreation and fitness to Rustic & Main, where she now leads the charge on all things customer experience. From answering customer questions to ensuring orders ship smoothly, she keeps everything running like a well-oiled machine. She also plays a key role in The Bungalow operations, making sure every visitor feels right at home. Lydia is not only dedicated to R&M's customers but also to supporting her team, always bringing encouragement and a can-do attitude to the workplace. When she's not keeping R&M customers happy, Lydia is likely out in her garden, getting her hands dirty, or doting on her two pups, Winnie & Odin. She and her husband love spending time outdoors, especially if it means adding more plants to their ever-growing collection.

A ring maker with a serious passion (and talent) for drumming. Jeffrey was Rustic's first hire and probably the most patient student of ring crafting (because we were still figuring things out). Some fine rings have passed through his hands over the years. He's referred to as our "Shop Pop" not only for his time at Rustic, but also for the wisdom he brings.

Joshua the Jeweler, joined the team in 2025. He's spent many a fortnight honing his skills in setting shiny stones, and forging and fabricating fine and fashionable jewels. Hailing from the high and prominent peak of Apex he is a native North Carolinian, a lover of learning, and a quiet, curious creative. Joshua takes great pains to patiently, and precisely pour quality into every piece he produces. When he is not tinkering away at the workbench, he is probably just beneath it tracking tiny treasures.

Beasley is the guy everyone likes and lights up a room with his brilliant smile. That same smile is seen in several of our pictures as he is one of the faces of Rustic & Main. He brings a creative eye and dedication to his role as a craftsman and is our go-to man for fabrics like tartan. Beasley frequently shows off his lovely family of girls by bringing them by the shop for a visit.

At home, you'll likely find her tending to the garden, biking through scenic trails, or firing up the grill for a backyard cookout.

Linnzi brings a keen eye for detail and a passion for fine jewelry to Rustic & Main. As the primary product photographer, she highlights the artistry of each ring, drawing from her background in design, fine jewelry and photography. Originally from Kansas, she grew up collecting rocks, which naturally led to a passion for fine jewelry and gemstones. When she's not behind the camera, you'll find her hiking, gardening, or adding to her ever-growing rock and mineral collection.
