About Me

My career in the jewelry world started more than 30 years ago when I owned my own bead shop. Of course, living in Southern California, my story has a Hollywood twist. Around 2000, I sold a vintage glass Pisces pendant to a Hollywood costume designer, and it ended up on Téa Leoni in the film The Family Man. The necklace was a hit — everyone wanted the zodiac necklace Téa wore in the movie.

Since we only had that one piece, we searched until we found dead-stock boxes of these charms. Amazing! We started selling them in 2000 to boutiques and online.

That’s where the thrill of discovery was born, and I’ve been on the hunt for vintage zodiac charms ever since. One amazing find was at a friend’s bead store across from Paramount Studios, where I purchased every zodiac piece he had — mostly from the 1970s.

Today I pair these vintage charms with beautiful, modern chains and make the entire experience interactive. I want people to tell their own stories with their necklaces, and I’m here to help them style it along the way.
