FREE STORY
I have never really been able to find jewelry that truly speaks to my soul so I decided to start making my own so that it could be exactly how I wanted it. I have been making my own jewelry for the past 15 years now and have gained an incredible amount of experience over the years. My friends and loved-ones pushed me to start sharing my creations with the world so I decided, "why not!?
" and B. In the past I have sold my creations to local artisan boutiques in Laguna Beach, CA and would now like to share my creations globally. I take the utmost pride in what I do and would never sell a piece that I wouldn't want for myself. In fact, it's very hard for me to not keep all the pieces for myself. Located in beautiful Santa Barbara CA, I am constantly inspired by the beauty of the ocean and nature and use many natural elements and precious and semi-precious gemstones. Natural raw gems will vary in size, color, and shape making each piece beautiful and unique. I use only the highest quality materials I can find. I will never sacrifice or cut corners on quality and believe in creating sustainable, humane, and eco-friendly pieces. All creations are hand-crafted with love and care by me, assuring that each piece is absolutely perfect. I donate 20% of ALL proceeds to Room-to-Read, an absolutely fantastic non-profit that is changing the world by educating children. And unlike some other non-profits their fiscal responsibility (which they win many awards for) means that virtually all funds go directly to helping the children. Here's a quick synopsis of what they do from their about page: "We envision a world in which all children can pursue a quality education, reach their full potential and contribute to their community and the world. To achieve this goal, we focus on two areas where we believe we can have the greatest impact: literacy and gender equality in education. We work in collaboration with communities and local governments across Asia and Africa to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the life skills they’ll need to succeed in school and beyond." So you can feel good about your purchases from the inside out! I absolutely love creating custom, unique pieces so if you have something in mind email [email protected] with your ideas. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I do.
