Our Etsy store grew naturally, beginning because I just love jewelry. I love the way it looks, the way it feels, the way I look and feel when I wear it… and there is almost nothing better than creating the exact thing I want, at the exact moment I want it. No shopping, no waiting, no settling for almost what I envisioned. I am often late to parties, lunches, and business meetings because I just had to make a last minute necklace to go with what I’m wearing. I shop obsessively for beads. And all it took to take my time-consuming, expensive, all around terrible habit and turn it into a brilliant business idea was an Etsy store.

Aaron and I live in California, where the temptation to go to the beach instead of to work lasts all year. We have professional careers that require us to wear conservative suits and look serious most of the time. We don’t surf.

I would love to say that we create jewelry to make you – our beautiful, intelligent, much-appreciated customer – happy. We are not so selfless. I make jewelry because I love to wear it. Aaron makes jewelry because... well... he loves to hammer things and play with fire.

We hope you enjoy the things we make as much as we enjoy making them!
