An exploration in creativity.

Sometimes you just wake up with a need to try something new. This is exactly what happened to me one morning in 2020 (yes, THAT year). I had spent the better part of the year-that-shall-not-be-named adapting to a new normal; working a full time job while caring for 2 young children under the age of 3 in the midst of building a house. It was A LOT, without realizing just how much it was affecting me mentally and emotionally.

So I set out to try something new, and to tap into the creative part of my brain that tends to go dormant in times of urgency and process. That’s when a dear friend of mine pointed me towards polymer clay. I have always loved jewelry (I mean who doesn’t) and the great satisfaction from creating a unique, one-of-a-kind piece in anyone’s collection. Turns out, creating clay jewelry pieces was just the remedy my soul was searching for.

 

I didn’t want to just create beautiful pieces; I wanted to create pieces that were just as spectacular in quality as they were to look at. As someone with sensitive ears, using premium materials was crucial in ensuring that even the most sensitive to metals would be able to enjoy.

Each piece is custom created with you in mind; gorgeous and versatile to seamlessly transition from daytime wear to nighttime accessory. I wanted to create items that I would personally wear as a busy professional on a budget. I hope you find a piece that you love as much as I love making them!
