Meet the Business Owner

Monika R.

Business Owner

I have been making jewelry for nearly 10 years. Retired from church music I found myself in need of a creative outlet. I started a home based jewelry business that quickly morphed into a retail store. In 2012 Caroline, my business partner and I decided to buy this franchise. She keeps the books and I make the jewelry. The best of both worlds for each of us.

I have been taking wire working classes with master wire artist Ann Thayer and try my hands on new jewelry making techniques all the time. My passion still lies in the chainmaille weaves which I learned on my own. I pride myself in paying attention to details and craftsmanship.
