When I first started dreaming up this little jewelry business, I knew one thing for sure: it had to feel like home. Not just any home, but Louisiana—the place that raised me, shaped me, loved me, and taught me to see beauty in the simplest things.
Louisiana has a rhythm all its own. It’s in the moss-covered oaks, the soft glow of porch lights, the slow-moving bayous, and the way people here carry an unspoken warmth. There’s a kind of magic in the details—a mix of resilience, culture, color, and soul—that you can’t quite put into words but always feel. That’s the feeling I wanted to pour into every piece I make.
Growing up here, I was surrounded by stories. Stories told around kitchen tables, on car rides, in the schoolyard, and out on the water. Louisiana isn’t just scenery—it’s personality. It has flavor, it has history, and it has heart. And when I started designing jewelry, I realized I wanted each piece to reflect those same things: a sense of belonging, a touch of nostalgia, and a little bit of home.
I chose a Louisiana aesthetic because it reminds me to slow down. To create intentionally. To honor where I come from. The colors I reach for—the deep greens, warm golds, soft pinks, and earthy neutrals—come straight from our marsh grass, sunsets, shrimp boats, and old cypress trees. The symbols I use, like the Louisiana outline or the fleur de lis, are more than designs. They’re pieces of heritage… small reminders of who we are and what we carry with us.
Louisiana also represents community to me. Down here, people show up for one another. They support small businesses, they celebrate the little wins, and they know how to make each day feel meaningful. I wanted my brand to reflect that same spirit—hand crafted, heartfelt, and grounded in connection.
Choosing this aesthetic wasn’t a strategic decision; it was a natural one. It’s what feels honest. It’s what feels like me. And every time someone orders a piece and says it makes them think of home, or of their roots, or of someone they love, it reminds me why I started all of this in the first place.
So yes—I chose a Louisiana aesthetic because this place is woven into everything I am. And now, it’s lovingly woven into every piece I send out into the world.
