Your next logical question is - if you're not Harold or Hazel, who are you? My name is Amanda. I'm a mom to three, a wife of almost 23 years, and a software engineer and product manager. I've worked in tech since the late 1990's, and I still love what I do and can't believe I've been lucky enough to build a career making cool stuff for all this time. But as my kids have gotten older, and now that I am paying the bills for two in college and am contemplating maybe, possibly, someday, not having to work 40+ hours each week, I started looking for a small business that I could run in my spare time to keep those college kids in pizza while simultaneously building something that might help sustain my husband and me over time. Since I love jewelry - and always have - it felt like a natural fit. Plus, it gives me an excuse to shop for stuff at night after work, only now I get to shop for you and me both!
I choose items for my shop that I would, and in most cases do, wear myself. I've ordered items and decided not to list them at all because they're just not up to my standards and I would never wear them, so I'm certainly not going to ask anyone else to. I pick and pack every single order myself. You'll see my actual signature on the jewelry care card that ships with every order. I'm not a big company - I'm just a mom and an entrepreneur working out of her basement.
So please know when you buy from me, you're helping an ordinary American family, not some giant conglomerate dodging taxes by hiding money offshore. Speaking of which - I am a proud and unapologetic left/liberal/progressive American. I have a trans child whom I love beyond all reason and I am a loyal ally to the LGBTQ+ community. The trans community in particular is under attack in this country, and if you find yourself sympathetic to those who would dehumanize and persecute my child, you are kindly requested to take your hard-earned money elsewhere. All others, please peruse the site, and if you ever have feedback or thoughts for me, please send me an email using our contact form!
