I started Venus and Vulcan after years of frustration with jewelry that looked good in photos but fell apart in real life. I was tired of overpriced, short-lived pieces that didn’t reflect the strength or meaning jewelry should carry. After working in finance and earning my MBA in marketing and finance, I knew I had the tools to build something better, and more honest. I graduated college with a degree in environmental geoscience, which gave me a deep understanding of gemstones: how they’re formed, where they come from, and what makes them truly rare. I wanted to bring that knowledge and passion into something people could wear and trust.
What began as a side project quickly turned into a full-time commitment. I left my corporate job, started sourcing high-quality materials, and built a brand rooted in intention and transparency.
Venus and Vulcan grew through live shows, one loyal customer at a time. Every piece I sell is specifically curated by me, knowing it’s not about mass production, it’s about connection, meaning, and jewelry that lasts.
