Welcome to my shop! Kona Jewelry Co. I reside in Breckenridge, Colorado where I like to play outside, make jewelry and work (running my other business).
I had been making jewelry all of my life, when a friend of mine taught me how to make earrings. I was living in Boulder, Colorado at the time and attending college. After learning how to make earrings, I was continuously producing pieces and wearing them out on the town. One day someone suggested I sell my work. So I did. I started selling my pieces in a local salon, a store in Massachusetts and expanded to doing art shows. This is when HPezz Jewelry was born in 2002.
Then a few years down the road (2007) I decided to move back up to the mountains, to work and ski. Fast forward and I renamed my company, Kona Jewelry Co. after my dog Kona. (Kona was my beloved dog for 6 years when he abruptly passed away. He was the apple in my eye, my best friend and I was very passionate about giving him the best dog life he could possibly have). Jewelry is something I have always been passionate about and I thought no better way for my love of Kona to live on then in the name of my jewelry.
I like to create one of kind pieces, using stones and beads from my life long collection and travels.
My jewelry is also available in local shops in Breckenridge and Vail, CO.
I hope you enjoy my shop! If you like something, but would like to add your own twist, feel free to contact me and we can make that happen!
