About Me
From My Workbench to Your Heart
Welcome to my sanctuary. What started over 28 years ago at a small wooden workbench has grown into something I never imagined—a legacy where my passion and my love for our community come together in every piece I create for you.
For nearly three decades, my mission has been simple but intentional: to craft jewelry that truly understands the warmth of our skin. I remember being so tired of seeing jewelry that didn't consider us. I knew we deserved to shine brighter. I’ve spent my life perfecting that specific "melanin glow"—ensuring that every earring I polish and every turquoise stone I set celebrates the Queen wearing it.
My New Chapter
They say everything has its season. After 28 beautiful years of being your jeweler, my new season is calling—and it’s filled with the laughter of my grandchildren.
Retiring is bittersweet for me. My heart is full because I know that my life’s work is resting in your hands. I am pouring my final bit of love into this Retirement Collection. Once these pieces find their forever homes with you, I am heading home for good to be a full-time grandma.
My Promise to You
Even as I prepare to close my doors, I am keeping the same promises I made 28 years ago:
-
Designed for Your Glow: I personally test every tone to ensure it vibrates against our beautiful skin.
-
Quality You Deserve: I use only hypoallergenic, high-luster finishes that I would wear myself.
-
A Piece of My Heart: You aren't just buying jewelry; you are carrying a piece of my 28-year journey.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your Sundays, your weddings, and your most precious moments. It has been the honor of my life to serve you.
Stay radiant,
Darlene J. Saunders Founder & Designer
