East Coast Raised, Left Coast Transplant. An Independent, One-Woman Studio: Crafting authentic jewelry for people hammering out their own stories...

06/03/2026

Many years ago, a fellow jeweler and dear friend, who is no longer with us, walked over to my booth at the Fremont Market and handed me a necklace he had made for my wedding day.

He brought me to tears with his generosity and thoughtfulness. I can remember instantly falling in love with it.

Maybe that’s why making bridal jewelry is one of my favorite things to do. When someone asks me to create a necklace and earring set for their wedding, I know it’s more than jewelry. It’s a small part of a much bigger story.

I love knowing that something I made will be there for the photos, the memories, and one of the most important days in someone’s life.

The details and sentiment matter, and being trusted with both is something I never take for granted.

Need a custom gift designed for yourself or for someone you love? Stop by the shop, let’s chat. I adore creating one of a kind pieces for special moments.

Join us today at Martini Mercantile for the Frank Goss Goldsmith Trunk Show.

Frank has been a goldsmith for over 50 years, and his work reflects that rare kind of craftsmanship that never goes out of style. Timeless, beautifully made, and never duplicated.
goss is also known for giving old jewelry new life, transforming inherited pieces, unworn rings, and forgotten gold into something modern, meaningful, and wearable again. If you have pieces you’ve never worn, bring them in for a fresh, new design. Frank is taking repairs, too!

Perfect timing if you’re looking for a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift, or if you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally redesign that piece sitting in your jewelry box.

Happening today at Martini Mercantile from 11 - 5 PM!

In my little city of Bellingham, WA, you plan your wardrobe around whatever the day might possibly throw at you.

You leave the house thinking coffee and errands, and somehow end up on a trail, by the water, or chasing the last bit of sun before it disappears behind the trees. Comfort isn’t optional here, it’s an everyday strategy.

Which got me thinking, why should your jewelry be any different?

These new studs were made for exactly that kind of day. They’ve got just enough movement to catch the light, but they sit easy. No tugging, no fuss, no regrets.

They show up, they move with you, and they don’t ask for much. Earrings that get the “swing” of things.

If you’ve ever wondered what it actually looks like to build a business from the ground up (not the shiny version, the real one), .bags new podcast, Hey Julie by Moss Bags, is worth a listen.

I had the chance to sit down with Julie on her podcast, and gurl, we got into it. Running Martini Metal Craft since 2011, opening Martini Mercantile, the baby steps, the juggling of multiple jobs, the things that most business people don’t tell you, and the stuff that’s kept me going. It’s honest and the kind of conversation that makes you feel a little less alone if you’re in this world of making and selling things.

Julie has created such a thoughtful, dialed-in podcast for product-based business owners. I am so proud of what she’s created. She’s such a supportive, helpful, and encouraging creative to have in your corner.

If you’re building something, thinking about building something, or just curious how this all works behind the scenes…go give all her episodes a listen, especially the episode where she interviews .jewelry !

New episode is live now — Hey Julie by Moss Bags. Check out her Instagram for the direct link to her podcast.

This morning I was doom scrolling and landed on the latest drama: UConn’s women’s basketball coach, Geno Auriemma, going off on South Carolina’s Dawn Staley. And just like that, I was back in it. Not the drama, but the feeling.

My own NCAA days. Division II. Freshman year, we made it to the Final 8, only to get knocked out by Delta State, who, of course, went on to win the whole thing. My sophomore year, we made it to the Sweet 16.

I wasn’t the star. In fact, I barely played. But I remember the feeling like it was yesterday. The adrenaline, the heartbreak, the locker room energy, the unspoken pact that you show up no matter what. And the camaraderie? That was the glue that kept you coming back.

Turns out running a business feels similar. Some days you’re in the Final 8, riding momentum. Other days you’re out in the first round, wondering who let you be in charge of anything. But you keep showing up and betting on yourself, even when the scoreboard isn’t in your favor.

This time, I’m on the bench, in the starting lineup, and coaching from the sideline all at once. Every day is game day, and running a business? Turns out it’s just my own version of March Madness.

These all sterling silver “hoop” Tutto Pepe earrings are in the cases . Stop by and try them on for size. They’ll give you an extra “pep in your step”in your everyday wardrobe.

I realized something slightly “offensive” this year.

For the first time in my entire life…I haven’t watched any March Madness. There’s been no yelling at the TV or emotional investment, and here’s the kicker…I don’t miss it.

Turns out, I had quietly been donating hours of my life to something that gave me exactly nothing in return. So instead, I’ve been in the studio, attempting to catch up on making inventory.

It’s usually around this time of year I find myself making silver balls and round objects for jewelry, and then it hit me. I didn’t quit March Madness. I just upgraded my madness.

Oregon Sunstone earrings set in sterling silver, Infinita style.

Studio & shop open every Tuesday thru Friday, 11-6 PM, and Saturday, 11-5 PM. Open this Thursday additional hours for the artist opening until 8 PM. Stop by for some light nosh while perusing some wicked cool art.

Most days (especially today), if I’m being brutally honest, I fantasize about a cosmic reset button. Like, one big black hole that vacuums up all the power-hungry nonsense. Because this? This version of reality? It’s completely off and irrational. It’s never made sense to me. This has to be a joke, right? One that we’ll all wake up from and say, “That was a scary trip I never want to take again.”

That’s my lead up to, “Hey, I now have these long and sexy earrings on my website.” Totally makes sense, right? Yeah, I didn’t think so either, but I went with it anyhow.

When you own two businesses, “vacation” is a loose term. There’s always something that needs attention. Something that could be planned, fixed, or promoted. It’s hard to justify “play.” So sometimes you have to turn work into play, like going to the Tucson Gem Show.

Imagine acres, maybe miles, of stones. Rows and rows of turquoise, opals, spinel…things I didn’t even know I needed until they were staring me down under fluorescent lights. I walked into each show thinking I’d be strategic, but instead I followed my gut. Which, in the past, has gotten me into trouble. This time, that kind of trouble turned into exactly the spark I needed to light a fire under my bum.

Being there reminded me why I started doing this in the first place. Not for the marketing plans or the constant problem-solving, but for the thrill of the find. The energy. The creative buzz of seeing something raw and imagining what it could become.

I came home lit up and went straight to the bench. And from those Tucson finds, there are several new works taking shape, including these cool marquise turquoise studs set in sterling silver. I love the movement in this style.

Turns out, a little desert heat was exactly what I needed to get fired up.

A customer came to me with a turquoise cabochon and an amber ring: both meaningful, both holding their own stories.

Her first thought was to combine them into one ring, but instead, we went another direction.

We removed the amber and refined the original band so it could stand on its own. Then we took the turquoise cabochon and built a clean stacking ring that can be worn solo or layered right alongside the original band.

Now she has two rings that can live together or apart. Same history with more flexibility.

I’ll be honest, custom work can intimidate me. There’s emotion tied up in these pieces, and that’s weight you feel at the bench. But when someone trusts me (💯) and my creative intuition, it calms my nerves.

If you’ve got pieces that mean something but don’t quite work anymore, sometimes the answer isn’t forcing them together, but instead, it’s letting each one become fully itself.

I typically outsource repairs and custom pieces to my fellow goldsmith friends, but every once in a while a request comes my way that I say, “Sure. I’ll do it.” I might struggle during the process but in the end I’m really happy it happened - - this one especially.

02/17/2026

Back in October, I said something out loud to myself that 2026 was going to be the year I finally stopped outsourcing my energy and started looking inward. This was the year I’d take care of myself and light the fire under my own chicky bum instead of waiting for a crisis to do it for me.

Fast forward to me finding out that the 2026 Lunar New Year is the Year of the Fire Horse.

The Fire Horse is bold, restless, independent, and passionate. It’s about momentum, heat, forward motion. Not the polite kind of growth, but the kind that kicks the stall door open.

So we’re leaning in. Join us at Martini Mercantile from 5 PM – 8 PM for an evening of intentions. We’ll hang, light a fire, pull things into focus and set them off right. No fluff. Just clarity, a little courage, and maybe the spark you didn’t know you were waiting for.

Because if this is the Year of the Fire Horse, we might as well saddle up and stop horsing around. 🔥
