How many times have you asked yourself

“Is it too late to try something new? “What am I good at?” I was constantly filling my mind with thoughts of “I know there is so much more to me, but what?” and “Am I too old?” Without a doubt I was definitely destined to be mama to Bailey and Gavin and raising two really awesome humans with my husband is my greatest accomplishment. But as I grew and the kids got older, I found myself taking a much closer look on the inside and so I started to do some soul searching. It seemed as though I never really got to know myself and the more freedom that opened up for me, it kept presenting itself. I know having a full time career and life in general kept me busy, so I never really thought much of it, until now. I came to realize my ultimate goal now is just to finally be comfortable in my skin and be the best version of myself.

So now what? Through this process of soul searching, I had always known that I really loved being in touch with my creative side, so I was determined to find a passion where I could express that. I was ready to prove to myself that it’s not too late to try something new. After a period of trial and error with different hobbies, I finally came to the realization that I felt most inspired when I created jewelry. From there, I enrolled in classes at the Art Academy of San Diego and educated myself on the art of jewelry. After about two years, I decided I would continue to create jewelry on my own and make a small workspace where I could escape to after my day job. It became a place where I could be for hours cultivating designs from visions in my mind. Today my little space has blossomed into a modest studio but with enough space for my work bench, assembly station and my homemade boardroom table. It was time to launch Regina Jewelry Co.

With my daughter away at college and my son who is now a senior in high school, I have reached a point in my life where it can be about me again. I know that there are a lot of women like me who have felt lost at times and are wanting to find themselves. For me, it’s about trying to find that girl who was fearless, confident and full of life. It has taken me years to find her again, but tapping into my creative side and learning new ways to practice self-care, I have found my way back.

Whether it’s a ring I made through silversmithing or setting a stone, every piece is handcrafted and hand assembled using quality materials. My hope is that you find something in my collection that makes you feel special. I put my heart and soul into each piece and I strive the best for craftsmanship so that, with proper care, you can enjoy these pieces for many years to come.

Designs fit for a Queen…

REGINA means queen in Latin. My journey has taught me the importance of self love, eliminating self doubt, and learning that it’s never too late to start something new. Launching Regina Jewelry Co. celebrates this moment. After looking back at my adult years, I am excited to finally feel a sense of control in regard to something I am truly passionate about. I have found myself thriving after realizing that everything feels better when we recognize our worth and stop holding ourselves back. I try my best to communicate this to my customers through my pieces, as well with the hope that others who feel the same way will understand that they’re not alone. I’d like to think that my pieces are fit for royalty…well,  maybe not, but why not bring out the REGINA in you?

XO, Regina
