I am an immigrant and a single mother who moved to the U.S. 20 years ago. In order to make ends meet and provide for my child, I’ve worked multiple jobs—often two or three at a time—without any financial support. Being a single mother with no safety net means doing whatever it takes, even when it’s difficult. It’s not easy, but it has to be done.

From a young age, I’ve had a passion for jewelry and accessories. I would create my own pieces using whatever materials I could find-whether it was a ring, bracelet, or necklace. Making jewelry was something I loved and enjoyed. In my early 20s, I began crafting accessories to help pay for my school expenses while juggling two jobs, attending classes, and ensuring my son’s needs were met. It wasn’t easy, and I couldn’t always be there for him, but I made it work.

Now that my son is grown, I’ve decided to revisit jewelry-making, with the hope of turning it into a long-term pursuit. I want to make up for the years I wasn’t able to spend as much time with him. More than anything, I want to build a stronger bond with my only family, my son.

The reason I’m starting this business is simple: it’s something I truly enjoy, and each piece I create is filled with joy and love. I take great care in making sure every piece is perfect, spending time to ensure it’s crafted with intention. My hope is that whoever wears it feels the effort, care, and love that went into creating it.
