Let me take you on a little journey - an amazing story that began with a curious teenager and a handful of beads, and blossomed into a lifelong love affair with jewelry, connection, and craft.

The Spark That Started It All

Elisabeth was just a girl - 13, maybe 14 - when she made her first necklace. It was nothing fancy, just some beads she saved up for and a borrowed pair of pliers. But something in her lit up.

She started setting up a little table at the local farmers' market in her hometown, watching women stop, smile, and tell her stories about the jewelry they wore.

That’s when she learned this wasn’t just about beauty - it was about memory, emotion, and connection. And she was hooked.

Paris Reignited the Flame

In her twenties, Elisabeth moved to New York to study. She adored children and dreamed of becoming a teacher—which she did.

But in the midst of lectures and lesson plans, she took a trip that changed her life: Paris. The city overwhelmed her with its art, history, and soul.

Elisabeth wandered through narrow alleys lined with ateliers, fell in love with tiny antique rings in market stalls, and felt something shift inside of her. In Paris, she remembered who she was. Elisabeth fell in love again—not just with the city, but with jewelry-making. And this time, it wasn’t just a spark. It was a fire.

Her First Shop: A Place for Stories

Back home, life moved forward. Elisabeth became a teacher, met her husband, and they built a life full of laughter, books, and eventually, their daughter Emily. But the dream wouldn’t rest.

With barely enough money to cover rent and a heart full of hope, Elisabeth opened her first little jewelry store at the age of 30. It was no grand launch - just a tiny space with her tools, designs, and a quiet belief that handmade still mattered. Every time a customer found a piece that spoke to them - something they wore to remember a loved one, or celebrate a new chapter - Elisabeth remembered why she started.

After 35 years of pouring her heart into every clasp, stone, and setting, her journey is coming to an end. At 72, she’s closing the doors of her beloved shop - and releasing her very last pieces at 80% off.

“This isn’t just about jewelry,” she says softly. “It’s about memories. I want each piece to live on with someone who will treasure it.”

There will be no more designs. No more restocks. Just the final chapter of a lifetime devoted to beauty, craft, and care.
