Meet the Maker: Emily Wehling

At the heart of Stacks Jewelry is Emily Wehling — a vibrant creative, proud wife and mom, and lifelong lover of bold, joyful accessories. Based in Manhattan, Kansas (Go Cats!), Emily spends her days balancing the sparkle of beads with the fast-paced world of enterprise sales, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

Emily's passion for handcrafted jewelry was sparked early on during her time working with a local jeweler who specialized in custom, handmade pieces. That experience taught her the artistry, patience, and love that go into every design — lessons she now pours into her own work. Each piece from Stacks is crafted with care, color, and intention to help customers brighten their look and express themselves through playful, quality accessories.

When she’s not stringing beads or packaging up orders, Emily is cheering on the Wildcats at Kansas State University events, soaking up time with her friends and family, or making memories with her two kids and husband. Her roots run deep in the Little Apple, where creativity and community collide.

By day, Emily brings the same attention to detail and relationship-first mindset to her role as a Regional Enterprise Account Director at CivicPlus, where she’s spent over a decade helping communities thrive through technology. By night (and weekends, and nap times), she’s elbow-deep in beads, building a brand that’s as fun and spirited as she is.

At Stacks Jewelry, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling good, too. Emily believes accessories should make you smile, spark confidence, and remind you that personal style should always be playful.
