Making “jewelry that works” isn’t easy. Some people might even call it “crazy.” This is the place where we talk about the how and the why behind some of the things we do and make. We’ll bury ledes. We’ll digress. This page is not for the faint of heart. If you’re reading this, you might be one of us. Let’s get into it…

crazy things
we make and do

Satirical Lock

Functional with a wink.

A satire is a technique employed by writers to expose and criticize foolishness and corruption 
of an individual or a society by using humor, irony, exaggeration or ridicule…you see where this is going…

Kama Sutra

Our biggest Lock. Ever.

The way we choose what will become a special hand-engraved project is rather haphazard if we are being honest with you. The criteria is more about storytelling than anything else…will it be memorable or beautiful or funny? It should touch you and stick with you in some way…and what better than an ancient Sanskrit text on fulfillment?

I googled ‘most common restaurant chair’ and then we made one.

…This is the story of what happened during the pandemic when Marla walked by the many empty seats outside of neighborhood restaurants that had to shutter their doors during the difficult time. Take a Seat is what she did about it.

#lockyourmom

If you know nothing about us, you should know that #lockyourmom is one of the most “crazy” fulfilling things we do. It does not change the world, but it does make people—specifically single moms on Mother’s Day—happy, and that is truly the least you can ask from a piece of jewelry.

Here's the full story…

vending

machine

Precious things should be easily accessible. And 
they should be accessible in unusual places. Not necessarily just in jewelry stores. Not just in fancy department stores. It should be in unexpected places. The vending machine couldn’t go just anywhere; putting it in a store would have been a cop-out. It had to be outside, somewhere unique…

Yeah, we went there…

To replace the netting of a basketball net with jewelry isn’t the most “sane” move…neither is hiding jewelry (all real gold) around they city for the sake of a scavenger hunt. But we did both and the jewelry lived to tell about it. And it brought joy to people, which is, in fact, jewelry’s only job…
