About Us
Hey! I'm Christina, the owner of Love & Locket.
Entrepreneur, jewelry maker, social worker, dessert connoisseur - I wear quite a few hats haha. To start this introduction, let's go back to the very beginning. I grew up in the beautiful Annapolis Valley, lived in Newfoundland while I completed my social work degree, and now I live in Dartmouth with my husband and my sweet cats Gracie and Daisy.
I would say i've always been a bit of an entrepreneur. As a kid, I used to love having yard sales and helping my parents sell their old things. While in university, I spent many nights baking cupcakes and cookies as a way to support myself while going to school.
Fast forward to 2020. One morning in November, I was standing in front of the mirror getting ready for the day. As I put in my earrings and draped my necklace across my chest, the idea of making my own jewelry crossed my mind. As someone who enjoys being creative and trying new hobbies, it didn't take long for me to purchase my first set of jewelry making supplies. I quickly fell in love with the therapeutic aspect of jewelry making, and seeing my creations come to life was the icing on the cake.
In just a few short weeks, I had created a shop on Etsy as a way to share my jewelry with the world. I've spent the last several years fulfilling Etsy orders, attending local markets, and growing this little business of mine.
I'm so excited that Love & Locket has a space to call it's own here on the internet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your support thus far, and i'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds.
- Christina
