This is a culmination of many things that started long ago.
My cousins, my girlfriends, my family, are my center point.
I have a great devotion to the middle parts of living. The middle is where we dig in, take stock, reset. Think — therapy, grocery shopping, doing your laundry, calling your mom. I have an eye for textiles and uncommon treasures, and love a pause for indulgence, but I don’t want to fuss about it, or take too long to get ready.
Making jewelry has come to me and revealed a way I can weave many of the these loves of mine together.
I hope these pieces feel like a precious and valuable treat, and I also hope you wear them to just go pick up the dry cleaning.
Lived and shared,
Lauren
The beads and materials are sourced from travels, estate sales, stoop sales, corners of the internet, and maybe even the gutter outside of the deli. The sourcing keeps these pieces and this operation idiosyncratic, and the thread that will remain throughout.
With that, the beads and stones vary in color, shape, and size. Just a little nod to remind you that you have something distinctive.
The mission is small drops of jewelry that feel fun to look at, and even more fun to wear.
