Our Story

 

Handmade Jewelry is my passion. Every piece is made with love to simply be an addition to one’s beauty. Jewelry making began as a hobby of mine many years ago, yet I never thought I would ever put my pieces up for sale. It was a form of therapy that allowed me to create beautiful and one of a kind pieces that mirrored my style and essence. Today I am eager to share these pieces with the world, as it fills me with joy to see people admire my jewelry while getting to understand its purpose; Jewelry is only meant to be an addition to the beauty that is already present inside.

My beginning

From a very young age I learned to appreciate art. As a child with a strong belief in a creator, I saw the world around me as a masterpiece made for me to delight in. Art in the form of music, painting, sculpting, or even speaking was something I admired. Although, I never thought of myself as someone who could have a creative bone in their body, secretly I wanted to be just that--- a creator. Growing up I enjoyed many hobbies that involved using my hands such as sewing, coloring, and building. When I hit my 20’s I felt the need to try something new. I was sitting on my parent’s couch when I had an image race into my head almost as if placed on purpose. I wanted to make jewelry, something I had never done or even thought about doing in my life. As a person who was already a big fan of jewels, I was excited in thinking about the “cute new hobby” I was about to pick up. Little did I know that by opening this door I was about to dive into a world full of creativity, color and beauty. I was going to learn lessons that I could only hope to pass on to the women of this world.

 

The learning processes

Early in my life I accepted that there are many things that I cannot control, but creating jewelry was not one of those things. I could control every aspect, from what types of metals to what style and color so I let my creativity flow freely. Although the making of any kind of jewelry was calming to me, I didn’t want to just make anything. I needed to express myself through every piece. I wanted to create jewelry that mirrored my complex personality. In the end it was me who was going to wear it. It was years of learning different methods of jewelry making and ruining many pieces that allowed me to finally figure out how to make the type of jewelry that lived inside of my imagination. Little by little these pieces started to come to life. I drew my inspiration from the world around me, the night sky, the oceans, a desert, a beautiful ice formation and my favorite flowers. All the things I could see and admire cross my mind when putting a piece together.

The take off

At this point I saw my jewelry as only my own. I never had intentions of someday sharing them. Many times I was asked where my jewelry was from. When I would answer that they were handmade, every response was full of surprise. Many times I was advised to open my own store but still in my mind I was just not that girl--- the girl that creates. Years went by and I kept creating in the silence of my home. The more I created, the more I fell in love with the art of it. Sometimes I’d wonder if I should have opened a store, but today as I look back at my life, I realize that my time hadn’t yet come. There was so much for me to learn and so much I did learn. Not only about jewelry methodology but also about life. What does it really mean to be beautiful and full of grace? Is beauty defined by the layers of jewelry that one can show off or is there a deeper meaning? Well let me tell you now that there is. Wearing beautiful jewelry is empowering and can even make a person feel confident to an extent. Yet, true beauty, true power is not confined in a category of something you can wear. It is not tangible, and it does not wear away. Beauty is the everlasting kindness and gentle strength that comes from within. These things were placed within us on purpose and for a purpose by our Creator. Jewels, however are satisfying adornments that accentuate the beauty that has always been alive inside of us and that is something to celebrate.
