About Us

Hand-hammered, stamped and created jewelry that is inspired by the beach and sea. Specializing in custom designs. High quality supplies, such as: Swarovski crystals, pearls, semi-precious stones and sterling silver

How We Got Started

For many years I made jewelry as a means to making extra money when I needed it. I was widowed in 2001 and I decided it was a good time to try to convert my hobby into a career. I closed my retail gift store in Ocean City and started working from home. This meant, I no longer needed to pay a high store rent and I was able to stay home with my young children.

I like being able to work my own hours. I am a night person. I prefer to work in the evening and night rather than traditional work hours. My job gives me the opportunity to do so.  (more) I like being able to work my own hours. I am a night person. I prefer to work in the evening and night rather than traditional work hours.

I owned a shop for many years and I prided myself on having unique merchandise.  I think if this situation presented itself to me I would probably drop the line. If my customer can buy the product anywhere, it is no longer unique... Also, smaller shops usually can't compete with the price breaks...

Also, smaller shops usually can't compete with the price breaks the bigger companies sometimes receive.  I bet you find another company that is just right for you!
