MY STORY

My journey into fine jewelry has been a long and fun one!

Nice to meet you, thank you for taking the time to find out more about who we are and what we do. 

Roughly 12 years ago I began my journey into the jewelry industry. I am first generation so everything was very fresh to me. I started with some basics. First with wire wrapping for several years. After gaining confidence and skills throughout the years I had fallen in love with making jewelry. But it just wasn't making me a consistent enough amount of money to live off of. It still felt like more of a side hustle or hobby than something I could rely on for regular income. 

That sparked something in me to dive even deeper into the jewelry industry and start taking it seriously. I started looking for schooling, and then just a few months later, I was on a plane to California to begin my GIA journey.

While at GIA I studied their Graduate Jeweler Degree program. In that program I spent every day learning and practicing new skills in the fine jewelry industry. What an amazing time that was, not only for the knowledge gained but the friends and connections along the way! I would recommend GIA to ANY aspiring jeweler!

Now, four years in the future of practicing fine jewelry and gaining more knowledge and connections, we are ready to open out very first store in an AMAZING area! We are so lucky to have been given the opportunity to have such an amazing location and support from the local community. 

Our one and only store is currently located at 123 W Main, Urbana, Illinois 61801

We look forward to meeting you and helping with all of your fine jewelry needs!
