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!
