Jess + Adam

we’re a couple of dreamers.

We used to dream big—really big. We were immersed in our careers in the demanding world of corporate finance and insurance where dreams are meant to be big: Big business. Big companies. Big responsibilities. But the place where we found real happiness was traveling, spending time with our children and families.

When Jess lost both of her parents, there was a heavy realization that tomorrow isn’t a guarantee and seemingly small moments are precious. The big dreams we were chasing no longer fit and didn’t allow time to enjoy the small things that made us happy.

That's when we decided to participate in life in a totally different way. So we set out to create a smaller dream—one that would allow us to prioritize happiness and focus on the things we love. Our small dream came to life as we built a brand doing something we enjoyed, with people we loved, in a setting that inspired us.

We now make beautiful jewelry that delights us as much as the people we make it for. When we let go of our big dreams for a small one, we started to enjoy our lives, together and truly happy.

With a team of 40+ amazing, talented people we work side-by-side, making jewelry, creating lives we love. What started out as just the two of us, working at our dining room table, now lives in a beautiful studio in our beloved downtown Eau Claire, WI.

We sometimes can’t believe the happiness our small dream is creating for us and so many others.

Thanks for visiting and helping us make our biggest small dream come true.
