Telling Stories Through Jewelry Since 2008
Lorren Mae began in 2008 as TomDesign, a creative outlet while I was home raising our young kids. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I was an elementary art teacher, and I loved having a way to create again. What started with a few tools and a small Etsy shop slowly grew as I discovered how meaningful personalized jewelry could be, little pieces that hold names, memories, milestones, and the people we love.
What began as a one-woman shop eventually became a family business. In 2015, my husband Mark left his career as an attorney to join me full-time (our friends and family thought we were a little crazy!). Today, we work side-by-side in our Southern Utah studio with an amazing team that helps bring each piece to life.
Over the years, our shop has grown from simple personalized designs into a collection of handwriting jewelry, birthstone and family jewelry, memorial keepsakes, engraved pieces, everyday jewelry, and fine jewelry. We work with materials ranging from sterling silver and 14k gold filled to solid gold, stainless steel, and implant-grade titanium, with much of our personalized jewelry engraved right here in our studio.
In 2025, after nearly 18 years as TomDesign, we knew it was time for our name to grow with us. We became Lorren Mae, a name with ties to our own family and one that better represents the jewelry we create today and where we're headed next. The name is new, but we're still the same family, team, and small business that has been creating jewelry on Etsy since 2008.
Along the way, we’ve been incredibly grateful to celebrate some amazing milestones:
• More than 500,000 Etsy sales
• Tens of thousands of 5-star reviews
• Named one of the Top 10 Jewelry Shops on Etsy in the US
• Featured on the Today Show and on television here in Utah
• Built a studio and team we never could have imagined when we started
• And raised three girls along the way, who thankfully, all love jewelry too!
After all these years, our favorite part is still knowing that something we made can hold so much meaning for someone else. A child's handwriting, a loved one's signature, the birthstones of an entire family, or simply a piece that becomes part of someone's everyday life, that's why we keep creating.
Thank you for supporting our family business for the past 18 years and for coming along with us into this new chapter as Lorren Mae. It truly means so much to us.
