Thanks for visiting my shop and thanks for taking the time to browse my items. For the past couple of months I have been working on improving the look of my shop and adding more jewelry pieces. Every piece you see here is a labor of love. I have spent countless hours working on them, from sourcing the stones, making these jewelry, to posting them here. But I tell you that nothing gives me more pleasure than when I see a piece come into fruition.

My aim is to please all of you who visit my store and what I want is for everyone to see that I am REALLY doing my best to give you good quality pieces without the hefty price tag. I believe that quality jewelry should not be priced outrageously, but should be priced fairly.

The gemstones that I use in my creations are ALL sourced ethically and they are always, always, very good quality stones and all solid gold. I am proud to say that I pick all the materials myself and I take pride in giving all of you quality jewelry that are handmade from start to finish.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I am also raising a 16 year old so between that and starting my store, Yes I don't really get enough sleep. :) But I am happy with what I'm doing and I hope my love for all of these pieces will translate to more people seeing that they are truly a labor of love, the result of my love affair with jewelry all these years. :)

My exposure to the jewelry business started 11 years ago when I worked for a jewelry company in L.A. I started as a gem and diamond buyer and then I started learning how to make jewelry. It was also where I started practicing on making my own jewelry with the help of a master jeweler. I began taking classes and now, after a decade of trying to learn everything I could about the business (from wax making, casting to setting), I finally decided to open my own store. I love each and every piece that is featured here and every item here has a story :)

The handmade jewelry that are featured here is a collaboration with 2 of the most talented jewelers I know, George and Tola. My business is growing each day and we have started working together in making these fine jewelry for you.

I wish everyone a great year and Happy Shopping! I will be adding more jewelry pieces in the next few weeks to come and I will be honored for you to come visit and check them out! :)
