June marks 3 years of being a full time jeweler 🌞
4.5 years ago, I started my business and had this big crazy dream that seemed very much out of reach. Was I slightly delusional thinking I could do this? Maybe. All I knew, was that owning a business was hard when you have something to physically create something of quality. I saw my mom work 7 days a week for years when she owned a deli growing up. Back then, I was sure that I never wanted to own a business.
Buuut jokes on me lol when I found metalsmithing,it consumed me.
Now, after many years of constant hustle, grind, and a dicey dance with credit cards, I can honestly say, it was and is still worth it. I truly love this little community that I’ve built and I’m so grateful to get to do what I love for a living :)
Enjoy a trip down memory lane, and see just a handful of my favorite pieces since summer 2023 when I took the leap 🐸
