One year ago, I packed up my entire life and temporarily moved to Tennessee to attend jewelry school at ! 😍🔨✨
At the time, I was already making jewelry full time and had been for years. But I wanted to challenge myself, sharpen my skills, and learn from some of the best in the industry.
For three months, I spent long days at the bench learning stone setting, fabrication, polishing, repairs, and techniques that completely changed the way I approach my work today. It was exciting, overwhelming, humbling, and honestly one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself and my business.
Looking back, it’s wild to see how much has changed in just one year. Since then, I’m now teaching metalsmithing classes, taken on more custom projects than ever before, started creating fine jewelry, and pushed myself in ways I never thought I could 😌
I’m still learning every single day, but I’m so grateful I took the leap and invested in myself.
Here’s a little flashback to one of the most transformative experiences of my jewelry journey so far. ✨
And to everyone who’s supported my little dream over the years…thank you. You help make all of this possible. 🥹🫶✨
