Create and sell a line of handcrafted jewelry.

“During this phase, I was still making small custom pieces and slowly selling here and there. I was selling at a local vintage store in Williamsburg and I think I made my very first tiny gold ring in 2015. I vaguely remember it taking over a year to sell! I didn’t have much extra cash to invest in sample making, so this was a period of very slow movement. The passion was still alive, so I didn’t let this stop me from continuing.”

“What really started all of this, was when my mom and I decided to sign up for a jewelry making class for the first time together. You’re probably familiar with the story, where we got so into making jewelry that we ended up making so many pieces that we didn’t know what to do with it so we decided to sell them online! It goes without saying, that the things that we were making at the time, weren’t made with the intention to sell and we weren’t thinking about our customers. We made them because we just enjoyed the process of shopping for supplies and, honestly, we didn’t know any better. Our first few products were definitely what I like to call a “garage sale” product line.”
