💖 Why Personalized Jewelry Means So Much. Personalized jewelry doesn’t just sit pretty in a box—it lives with you. It becomes part of your story. It’s the little charm you reach for when you need a reminder of your children’s giggles. It’s the stack of rings that feels like home on your finger. It’s the locket or pendant that holds more than metal—it holds meaning.
✨
These are the pieces that travel with you through life. That mark the milestones, honor the memories, and celebrate the love that never stops growing. Whether you’re adding to your own collection or building something special for someone you love, each piece adds to a bigger story.
✨
Add to your story, one charm at a time.
Wear your love wherever you go.

The first day of spring calls for something fresh, vibrant, and full of life—just like these earrings!
✨
Featuring bright green chrysoprase cabochons set in a vintage-inspired filigree design, they embody renewal and transformation in more ways than one. The original mounting was once a pendant, but I couldn’t resist giving it a new life as earrings—the full, romantic curves were too beautiful not to wear.
✨
I’m beyond excited for warmer days ahead, dreaming of finally feeling the sun kiss my skin and listening to the waves crash at the shore. 🌊💚
✨
Here’s to new beginnings and soaking in the season with color, beauty, and sparkle! Message me for earring details. There’s only one pair available.

The first hints of spring are here—the soft warmth of the sun, the tiniest buds on trees, and the fresh green that signals a new season. This time of year always makes me reach for vibrant green gemstones, each one a little celebration of renewal and growth.
✨
From the rich glow of emeralds to the electric pop of chrysoprase, the luminous depths of green tourmaline, and the captivating shimmer of peacock pearls, these jewels feel alive—just like spring itself.

Breathing. Stretching. Feeling. Being present. ✨

Yoga is my way of creating balance—between work, creativity, and the everyday grind. I try to practice 1-2 times a week, and every session gives me a workout and a moment to reset. Moving with intention, focusing on my breath, and making space in my mind helps me feel grounded and recharged.

Happy International Women’s Day! Today I’m celebrating the women in my life who inspire me: my mother, grandmother, aunt, and great aunt.
✨
Today is especially meaningful to me because it also marks my grandmother’s birthday—a woman whose strength, creativity, and determination continue to inspire me. She and her sister, my great aunt, were the catalyst for my love of craft. If something wasn’t available, they made it—beautifully. From dresses and blankets to doll clothes and home-cooked meals, their hands crafted a world of warmth and care.
✨
I carry their lessons with me every day, and on this day, I celebrate them even more.
✨
To all the incredible women shaping the world with their talent, love, and strength—Happy Women’s Day!

Over the past 20 years, l’ve encountered some truly extraordinary specimens, from heart-shaped to towering crystal caverns 3 times my height! Their beauty is only matched by the incredible story of their formation, a process that takes millions of years beneath the Earth’s surface.
