Read all about how it started below.
I grew up watching my mother make jewelry, always admiring the gemstones she would string together, and the pieces she created.
Later in life, I paused my career in consulting and I had my first child. Postpartum depression led me to jewelry making as a creative outlet. I went back to the tools I was so familiar with. I hand engraved my child's initial on a sterling silver pendant and then I made another for a friend, then another, and another.
Hundreds of personalized necklaces, earrings, and bracelets later - my story and your stories are still the heart of Estrela.
Each piece is made with care from my studio here in Portugal. It’s jewelry with a heartbeat—a little sentimental, a lot intentional, and made to carry your story as it unfolds.
With love and beijinhos,
Kristie
