✨ The Renewed Elements Collection: A Celebration of Rebirth, Craft, and African Recycled Glass Beads

✨ The Renewed Elements Collection: A Celebration of Rebirth, Craft, and African Recycled Glass Beads There is something extraordinary about materials that have lived a life before they reach the artist’s hands. Something soulful and resilient. This is the heart of The Renewed Elements Collection — a line of jewelry crafted with African recycled glass beads, each one shaped from discarded glass and reborn through fire, artistry, and tradition. I’m excited to share the story behind these remarkable beads and introduce the collection they inspired. 🌍 The Art of African Recycled Glass Beads Across parts of West Africa, especially Ghana, artisans have perfected the ancient craft of transforming broken glass into luminous, hand‑formed beads. This process is both sustainable and deeply cultural as has been passed down through generations. Discarded glass bottles, windows, and glass scraps are crushed into a fine powder, carefully sifted, and poured into clay molds. The molds  are then pl...

Supporting Small Businesses, It Matters

Join our email list & get a discount on your first order & get a sneak peak at new arrivals It is easier than ever to order online. A few clicks and it's at your door before you even remember that you bought it! But when you choose to shop small, you're doing something more meaningful than just buying stuff from a manufacturer. You're supporting a real person, a dream, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes work. Every time someone places an order with a small business, it’s a BIG deal. There’s usually a happy dance involved. Seriously, it's not just a sale, it's a celebration. Because that order means so much more than just money. It means someone out there connected with the piece and that makes it all worth it. That necklace you bought? It wasn’t mass-produced in a factory. The pieces were picked out, put together, and packaged by hand—often with a cup of coffee nearby and maybe a cat sitting on the desk watching it all happen. At least mine does anyway. 🐾...

Handmade Jewelry, It Just Feels Right

💕 Love pretty things? Join our email list for first looks + 10% off your first order! You've got to admit, there’s something special about handmade jewelry. There is a story behind each piece that has been so lovingly created by the artisans's own hands, not from a factory that mass produces pieces.  What makes each handmade piece special are the little imperfections and the fact that someone put time, care, and their heart and soul into making it.  Each piece is unique just like each one of us. No two pieces or people are exactly alike. Think of each piece as a small piece of wearable art. Because of the all of reasons mentioned above, it makes you feel a little bit more connected to the piece.  As an artisan, I can tell you that we put everything into what we do and it gives me great satisfaction when I can support other small artists and craftspeople by purchasing from them. So, next time you want to treat yourself or buy a gift, consider buying from a small business....
