Neither of us set out to open a shop. It started with the two of us noticing the same things. A clasp that sat right. A stone that caught the light at a certain angle. A piece that looked as though it had been made with one particular person in mind.

For a long time that was simply something we shared. Then one day it seemed silly not to do something with it.

We were never interested in selling a great deal of anything. We wanted pieces a person would reach for again and again, and that would still feel right years later.

Quiet things, mostly. The kind you forget you are wearing until someone asks about them.

There is no sad story here. Our families have grown, and the time we want to give them is time we no longer have to give the shop.

We would rather stop while we still love it than carry on until we do not. What is left is what is left, and we would like it to go to people who will actually wear it.
