From 90s Roots to Modern Rebirth

The story of Third Stone Arts began in the 1990s in Kansas City, MO, as the original Third Stone From the Sun—a beloved local hub for rocks, beads, and jewelry. Owners Mark and Shannon Bailey spent that decade building a community around the beauty of the earth.

In 2025, that creative legacy was reborn as Third Stone Arts.

Mark Bailey is the hands-on artisan of the duo. A professional musician, artist, and metalsmith, Mark brings a rhythmic precision to his woodworking and jewelry. Whether he’s hand-turning an exotic wood pen or forging sterling silver, his work is an intersection of a maker's soul and a craftsman’s skill.

Shannon Bailey provides the vision and balance. As a Feng Shui consultant and Chinese Astrology practitioner, she ensures that every piece resonates with the natural elements. Together, they create functional and wearable art designed to bring the grounded beauty of the "Third Stone"—Earth—into your daily life.
