Hi, I’m Kaj.

I am truly grateful that you are here. This little brand you are stepping into did not begin in a studio or with a big plan. It began at my tiny kitchen table late at night with a handful of beads, a bit of wire, and tools that could barely shape anything straight.

When I sold my very first pair of earrings something shifted inside me. I felt for the first time that I had found the work I was meant to pour my heart into. I took a chance on myself, left my day job, stepped into the unknown, and promised I would figure it out even when I did not know where to begin.

Those early years were humbling. I struggled far more than I ever imagined but I kept going because the dream mattered. I wore every hat. I designed, created, photographed, marketed, sold, and did the bookkeeping while raising two toddlers on my own. There were nights when I cried from exhaustion and mornings when I woke up determined to try again.

Slowly things began to change. I started to see what becomes possible when a woman chooses herself, believes in her own hands, and keeps showing up even when it is hard. That is when I discovered my deeper purpose. I wanted to use my journey to help other women become independent too. I began mentoring young women and sharing the lessons I had to learn the difficult way because freedom feels even more meaningful when you help someone else find theirs.

Fast forward to today, and our small venture has grown into a close-knit team of three dedicated women in production and eight assisting in front and behind the scenes to keep us going. 

 

Together, we craft each piece of jewelry with care, paying attention to every detail.

 

We pour love into our work because we genuinely love what we do, and we hope that you’ll feel that love when you wear our pieces.​​
