For me, jewelry has always been about collecting moments, memories, places not just objects. In February 2024, after traveling to Madrid I found myself inspired in unexpected places, most memorably inside a small bead store tucked along a quiet street. Rows of beads, charms, and materials from all over the world felt less like inventory and more like stories waiting to be told.
That trip sent me back home with a new lens. While sorting through my mother’s jewelry, I rediscovered a collection of fish charms she had gathered while traveling in China after graduating college. Seeing those pieces through my own eyes connected travel across generations, her story shaping mine.
That combination of global inspiration and personal heritage became the foundation for my approach to custom and personalized jewelry. I wanted to create pieces that felt intentional, layered, and deeply individual, jewelry that could grow with someone over time.
From there, something even more meaningful began to take shape. At my local farmers market, charm collecting naturally turned into a conversation. Choosing charms became collaborative, playful, and social, stories being shared, memories exchanged. What started as a product offering evolved into something bigger.
Through charm bars, birthday parties, and pop-ups across New England, I’ve transformed the act of turning my jewelry business into something interactive and joyful.
