STORY

 

 

Cascadia Jewelry began in Montana in 2017 after I took an afternoon class on cutting + shaping metals. I'd had a shape in my head forever and I wanted to make myself earrings- the first pair of Moon Drops. I became obsessed and soon turned the dining room table into my first 'studio'. A few years later I relocated back home to the Pacific Northwest with more styles and techniques and leveled up this hobby to my full time gig. I never dreamed that this love of mine would become a business and I am beyond lucky to spend my time making jewelry and sharing it with you.

I like working with a range of metals and techniques and am always learning. I gravitate towards texture and line to create drama- and always prefer simple and straightforward pieces.  Behind it all is an inspiration to bring joy and beauty through simple, handmade work.  

I have made the effort to create collections and pieces that are more economically approachable.  It is important to me that art and self expression be more financially accessible.

In 2021 my husband died unexpectedly. My entire world was blown apart and my journey through grief and trauma changed my life. Making jewelry was a tether that kept me grounded and became a connection to what my future could be. Art can be extremely personal and powerful- and it continues to be a healing force in my life.

It's an honor to share all of this with you. Thank you for being here.
