Founder's Story
Forever Chasing Sunsets
I grew up on the Jersey Shore, where summers were measured by salt on your skin, treasures found along the shoreline, and sunsets that seemed to last forever. Today, I call Florida’s Gulf Coast home, but the feeling I’m forever chasing has never changed.
Chasing Sunsets Designs was born from a lifelong love of beautiful things with a history. Long before I ever opened a business, I was collecting vintage jewelry, searching antique markets, and falling in love with the stories hidden inside forgotten treasures. I don’t believe the most meaningful pieces are made on an assembly line. I believe they are gathered, discovered, and thoughtfully brought together over time.
Every necklace and charm begins with that search.
I spend countless hours sourcing natural semiprecious gemstones, vintage components, antique findings, recycled glass beads, freshwater pearls, and artisan materials from around the world. Many of the vintage pieces I use have already lived another life. Rather than allowing them to be forgotten, I give them a new chapter—one that becomes part of yours.
No two pieces are ever exactly alike.
Each design is handcrafted in my Florida studio, where I combine traditional metalsmithing techniques with modern design to create jewelry and accessories that feel both timeless and effortless. Every clasp, every stone, every tiny detail is chosen intentionally. The result is wearable heirlooms designed to be collected, layered, gifted, and loved for years to come.
My inspiration always comes back to the coast.
The weathered docks, oyster shells, sea glass, old fishing villages, driftwood softened by time, and sunsets stretching across the Gulf remind me that beauty isn’t created by perfection—it is created by time, character, and the stories we carry.
That philosophy lives inside every collection.
Whether you’re clipping one of my charms onto your favorite handbag, layering a necklace for a weekend by the water, or wearing a piece that reminds you of a place you love, my hope is that it becomes part of your own story.
Because the most meaningful jewelry isn’t simply worn.
It’s lived in.
Thank you for supporting handmade craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a small business built with heart.
I’m so grateful you’re here.
