Jewelry By Lani

Well, let me see- Perseverance is the word that comes to mind.

Perseverance: Steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, ect., Especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.

I started my jewelry business over 26 years ago while bartending and raising my 2 beautiful children.  Creating and designing jewelry has always brought me pleasure & joy.  Using Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, a variety of gemstones mixed with sterling silver for chic, fun and affordable jewelry. 

I have had the opportunity to have many wholesale accounts in a number of states including Hawaii/Maui where I lived for a short time. ( Yes, it was amazing )

Custom wedding jewelry was also an amazing & satisfying adventure for 13 years.  Meeting with hundreds of brides to design jewelry to perfectly accent their wedding gowns as well as making the gifts for their bridesmaids and mother of the bride. So many Happy Brides!

Life change- I made the decision at 46 yrs. old to go to school and become an Occupational Therapy Assistant. ( currently still in this profession)

Returning to Maui  years later, I found myself falling in love with the light and airiness of the beach jewelry -so once again I opened up Jewelry by Lani with a new Beach Jewelry collection.  Using sea shells found on the beach, sea glass, coral and adding Rhodium plated sterling silver to my designs.  Rhodium is a coating applied to sterling silver that deterring the tarnishing of sterling silver chains.  Love this, less polishing of your silver.

Covid hit- I decided that I needed to put my jewelry business on hold, like many businesses had to. I continued to create in other mediums, but nothing was quite like jewelry design for me.

Present day– Thankfully jewelry shows started opening back up and I was selling once again.  Time to build my Jewelry by Lani website!  With the love & encouragement of my man, I am looking forward to this new version of Jewelry by Lani.  I have incorporated more sterling silver designs including my large hoops, dusters ( long, long, long earrings) and my Life necklace that I am so excited about and represents a time in life that I truly had to pull my boot straps up and move forward. 

 I have done it, I am doing it, I am happy!
