I’m Christina—the hands behind the camera, the notes on your thank you card, and the person who still pauses when the phone goes “ding” with a new order. I didn’t start with a showroom or a team. I started with a desk lamp, a stubborn love for tiny details, and a habit of pocketing seashells after long, quiet walks.
I make minimalist pieces that feel gentle, not distant. Most of my work is 925 sterling silver; some designs are plated with 18K gold for a soft, everyday glow. Before a piece ever meets your jewellery box, it has to live with me first—through the rush to catch a bus, the rummaging in a tote, the hundred little moments that real life brings. If it survives my “real-life test,” it’s ready for you.
Everything you see online is photographed by me. The props are never fancy: a table, a sun patch moving across the wall, a cup of coffee I keep forgetting to finish. I don’t want jewellery that looks far away from life; I want jewellery that looks like it already belongs in yours.
When your order comes in, I pack it myself—with a handwritten note if you leave a hint about the occasion. I love the ritual of gifting, and I love the people who make time for it. That’s the advantage of being small: I remember your name, your ring size, the fact that you once said you like wave motifs; I can move things around to help a birthday arrive on time. And when you message, you get me—not an auto-reply. I’ll always do my best to help, even if the answer is simply honest.
If you’re new here—welcome. If you’re choosing a gift and unsure about sizing, materials, or what suits her style, tell me a bit about her and I’ll guide you. If you’re having one of those days and just want something small to look forward to, I get that too.
Thank you for finding my tiny studio in this big internet. Thank you for letting an independent maker be part of your story. I’ll keep showing up at the workbench, testing, retouching, packing, and doing my best—so that when you open that little box, it already feels familiar, like something you’ve been meaning to wear all along.
