About Us
Harold & Hazel is a small, family-owned business, dedicated to finding and curating the most beautiful handmade jewelry from all over the world - including, and especially, right here in the United States.
We seek to find jewelry artisans and designers who practice fair trade and sustainability, and make a special effort to find those who come from under-represented groups.
We choose every item we sell, inspect it as it arrives, and provide customer service before and after the sale. We take every photo, so what you see on this website is exactly what you receive. Even our kids help out on occasion. When you buy from us, it's our hands who pack and seal your boxes.
Thanks for stopping by. We're very glad you're here.
Hi. I'm Amanda. And I love jewelry.
I've always been one to make a beeline for the jewelry at craft fairs, even when I was just a little girl. If I had allowance in my pocket to spend, at least half the time, it went for a pretty piece of jewelry before I even looked at anything else.
That’s where Harold & Hazel came from. There's only so much jewelry one woman can wear, so now I search for you, finding the best small makers creating the most striking and beautiful pieces, and bring them together, all in one place. I look for jewelry designers who are using color and pattern and technique to create truly standout pieces. And I really love artisans making jewelry out of innovative materials - bowling ball earrings, anyone?
He's my sweet husband of almost 23 years. He's not as much of a jewelry lover as me - the only jewelry he wears is his wedding ring - but he really likes photography. So when I started Harold & Hazel, I recruited him to be my product photographer. I think he likes it. He's built out quite a nice setup down here in our basement. He's also an excellent postal service courier, large box carrier, and surprisingly patient with listening to me ramble about this website.
Yep, they're our dogs. Two out of our three dogs anyway. Harold is an Alaskan Klee Kai, barely a year old, and still very much a puppy. Hazel is a nine-year-old black Lab mix and, like me, another middle-aged woman who really is kind of over, well, everything, just doesn't want to deal with Harold's nonsense. But Harold is sure that if he's persistent, he'll win her over.
