Creating jewelry that sparks joy
I’m a mom all the time, a software developer in the morning, and a jewelry designer in the evening. This unique combination of logical thinking and creative expression shapes everything I create—each piece is crafted with both technical precision and artistic heart.
My Philosophy
Jewelry is more than just an accessory—it’s a source of joy, a spark of creativity, and a connection between hearts.
The Joy of Opening
I love how it feels when I open up a jewelry box and see something beautiful inside. That moment of discovery, that little spark of happiness—that’s what I want every person to experience when they receive one of my pieces. It’s not just about the jewelry itself, but about creating a beautiful, joyful moment.
The Creative Flow
When I’m creating jewelry in the evenings, I get completely lost in the process. After a day of coding and problem-solving, working with my hands and letting my imagination run free is pure magic. Each twist of wire, each placement of a bead—it’s all done with intention and love. This creative flow is where ordinary materials transform into something that can bring someone joy.
More Than Pretty
When people buy my jewelry, I don’t want them to think of it as just something pretty. Like Marie Kondo says about items that spark joy, I want them to feel the warmth and love that’s been put into every piece. Every creation carries a piece of my heart and the hope that it will bring happiness to whoever wears it.
The Complete Experience
I package every piece like a gift for someone I love, because honestly, jewelry isn’t cheap. People buy it to give someone joy, and I want that entire experience to be joyful—not just the jewelry itself, but the experience of receiving it and opening it. It should be a beautiful sensory experience: the feel of the wrapping paper, the way it looks, the ribbon—all of it matters in creating that perfect moment of happiness.
How I Work
Every piece in my collection represents hours of careful work and thoughtful consideration, created during precious evening hours when creativity flows freely.
Hand crafted Pieces
Each handcrafted piece begins with inspiration—maybe it’s the way light hits a particular stone, or a color combination that speaks to me. I work with various techniques and materials to bring each vision to life, carefully crafting each element to create something truly special. No two pieces are exactly alike because each one is shaped by my hands and heart, often late into the evening when the world is quiet.
Curated Collection
For my curated pieces, I’m incredibly selective. I search for items that align with my aesthetic vision and meet my quality standards. Each curated piece must tell a story, spark conversation, or bring a smile to someone’s face. Whether it’s a whimsical pendant or an elegant classic, every curated item is chosen because it has that special something that brings joy.
Balancing Life & Art
As someone who codes by day and creates by night, I understand the value of finding balance and making time for the things that bring us joy. My jewelry business isn’t just a side project—it’s a passion that perfectly complements my analytical work as a software developer. The precision required in coding translates beautifully to the meticulous work of jewelry making, while the creative freedom of design provides the perfect counterbalance to structured programming.
Being a mom through it all has taught me that life is about finding moments of beauty and joy wherever we can. When you wear one of my pieces, you’re not just wearing jewelry—you’re wearing a piece created during stolen moments of creativity, crafted with love between the beautiful chaos of motherhood and the satisfaction of solving complex problems.
Thank you for supporting my dream and allowing me to be part of your jewelry story. Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting someone special, I hope my pieces bring you as much joy as I feel when creating them in those precious evening hours.
With love and creativity,
Sophia K Cruz
