Making jewelry has always been so much more to me than just something to wear. It is an outlet, a form of self-expression, and a way to tell a story.

Ollie and E Jewelry began when my Autism Service Dog Ollie had to retire suddenly. For almost two years he had been my steady rock helping to navigate a world that constantly felt too loud and overwhelming. Knowing he had a long, expensive, rehabilitation journey ahead of him I sat down at my parents’ dining room table and began to make jewelry.

What began as a few humble strands of beads spread out on the table has since grown into something much bigger. At Ollie and E Jewelry, I believe in second chances whether that be for dogs, people, or jewelry. That’s why many of my stones, pearls, and clasps are sourced from thoughtfully reclaimed vintage and secondhand jewelry.

Every piece handmade in my little studio carries a little bit of our story with it. When you choose Ollie and E Jewlery, you become a part of that story by supporting a business built on of resilience, hope, and finding beauty in new beginnings.
