Hello, fellow lovers of magic, crystals, and beautiful things!
Thank you so much for visiting my shop and taking a moment to learn a little about me. I'm Nicolee (Nick-a-lee), the artist, designer, photographer, packer, and shipper behind Resilient Jewelry.
Creativity has always been a part of who I am. For most of my life, I imagined a future helping others as a therapist, supporting people through addiction, trauma, and life's most difficult challenges. Having experienced many of those struggles myself, it felt like the path I was meant to follow.
But life had other plans.
In April 2019, my third child, Mila, arrived 15 weeks early, weighing just one pound. Her journey has been filled with challenges, including cerebral palsy, brain damage, heart defects, chronic lung disease, and other complications. During her six-month stay in the NICU, I made the difficult decision to leave my career and focus on caring for my family.
It was during that season of uncertainty, fear, and hope that I rediscovered jewelry making.
Creating became my outlet, my grounding place, and eventually my passion. What began as a way to cope and heal grew into Resilient Jewelry—a business built on the belief that beauty, strength, and resilience can exist together, even in life's hardest moments.
Crystals have always fascinated me. Beyond their natural beauty, I love the meaning, symbolism, and intention they carry. Each piece is thoughtfully designed with care, whether you're drawn to a crystal's metaphysical properties, its energy, or simply because it speaks to your heart.
The name Resilient Jewelry comes from a value that has shaped my life. As someone in recovery, living with PTSD, raising a medically complex child, and navigating life's unexpected twists, resilience is something I choose every day. It's the belief that no matter what we've been through, we can continue growing, healing, and finding strength within ourselves.
Every piece in my shop is handmade, packaged, and shipped by me with love and intention. When you support my small business, you're supporting a dream that grew from some of life's most challenging circumstances into something beautiful.
Thank you for being here. I hope you find a piece that resonates with you, brings a little magic into your life, and reminds you of your own resilience.
With gratitude,
Nicolee
