Meet the Designer & Maker

Welcome to my handmade jewelry shop, where each piece tells a unique story inspired by the beauty of the beach, the tranquility of water, and the adventures of my travels.

Growing up I have always been drawn to dancing, pretend-play & art supplies.... (specifically or oddly)....I was drawn to yarn, paper, beads & shiny embellishments. My childhood was all about creating and I would spend hours focused on choreographing a dance or making something with these art supplies! However, my artistic pursuits took a backseat as the years went by. 

About 20 years ago I had a renewed interest in creating and discovered beaded jewelry. On my off days as a night shift ICU nurse, I would spend a few hours of my day....just beading and making jewelry. Who knew that I would actually turn it into a little business. Over the years, I honed my skills, refined my style, and enhanced the quality of my gemstones through dedicating learning in taking Metalsmithing & beading classes via online and in-person classes right here in Wichita. You can say, this little business is a 20 year in the making! 

I find myself drawn to ocean & coastal landscapes, which are reflected in my designs. I call Midwest my home, my travels near and far provide endless inspiration.  As a Pisces, the water draws me in and inspires me to dream, create, and imagine. Do you, too, feel a strong connection to water?

My style is simple, minimalist jewelry that can be layered & easy to wear. Each creation is a labor of love, a manifestation of my deep-seated desire to infuse a piece of paradise into the everyday lives of the women who wear them. 

In my shop you will find collections of pearls, shells, gemstone jewelry that offers a diverse range of pieces that cater to every style and occasion.
