Founded in faith and rooted in Kentucky, life's journey has taken me from single to married and back again, bridging three continents and weaving a path through bluegrass and yellow roses to forests of rain, sandy Saharan heat, and valleys of French chateaux. While raising four wonderful children and learning new languages and cultures, there has been excitement and heart break, adventure and daily routine, discovery and loss, but mostly blessing upon blessing!

In the second half of my life I am embracing this motto, inspired by women wiser than myself: This didn't happen TO me, but FOR me, and I WILL get my happily ever after BECAUSE of it. And so it was and is, Jewelry by Ma'amoul was birthed in 2015 with tears and pain, coached by a friend's loving hands and listening ears, holding newborn hopes and dreams with tenderness and awe, while still wet with disbelief.
The initial Happy-Ever-After Collection designs were created with my daughter's essential oil business in mind and gifts for friends and family.

The Chérie Collection has been a collaborative project with my best friend Cindy McCain/ SouthernGirlGoneGlobal.com in October 2018. Designs are inspired by her two year journey in Morocco, where God gave her adventure and beauty, clothed her in confident courage, and made her feel cherished, young, and free. Each unique design is a reminder that our Creator custom-designs paths for us all where dreams are fulfilled, we feel deeply loved, and we connect with other seekers of passion and purpose.
