Our Story
The Determination to Try Something New
The Monk and the Maiden was founded in 2017, when I gathered some wire and gemstones to try something new! I didn't start this new journey with any intention to sell, but as I shared my new pieces with friends and family, they cheered for me to make it more. Not long after, my husband, Andy, trained with a local lapidary guild for cab cutting. He is AHHH-MAZING! We have invested for him to seek gorgeous slabs and create beautiful cabochons for me to wrap and share.
We have been a Handmade Jewelry Shop ever since. Since we opened our doors, we’ve gained a reputation for being friendly, and affordable, which keeps our customers coming back to mark their special occasions with us. We believe in building a trusting relationship with our clients and customers, and we are committed to providing the beautiful pieces that our audience has grown to expect.
Thank you all for the love and kindness you have shared with us all these years. The support has been tremendous!
