n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

When my husband and I stumbled upon this word it spoke to us. We felt that there are so many people out there, so many things that make you have your own story. Why not help provide them with something that helps them explain themselves. Either a word or a picture. Something they are passionate about. So we set out to create things that could be worn in the everyday life. Necklaces, cufflinks, earrings, tie bars. Some little fun quirk to brighten your day to day regardless of what it's for.

We have been together 14 years. We have worked all kinds of jobs, been all sorts of places, and made adventures of our own as well as memories. We plan on keeping it going. Together we work in our shop with our 5 lb., Pomeranian mascot Pip. Coming up with ideas and putting them into motion, while she snores, asleep on the floor. Our lives are just as complex as everyone else. It's the stories and memories you get out of it that make it worth while.
