how it started
In need of a creative outlet after becoming a mother of two, Clare took a friend’s suggestions and signed up for an introductory jewelry making class. Once she got a taste, she couldn’t get enough and has been teaching herself new techniques ever since.

why you'll love it
Clare got her start making jewelry just for herself, and even now, nothing hits the shop that she wouldn’t love to wear. As a busy mom, she likes modern styles with simple lines, versatile enough to be worn anywhere from board meetings to date nights and anywhere you might find yourself in between.
