About us

 

Teal Butterfly Clay Co. was born in 2020, during a time when I needed a creative escape from the daily grind of a job that no longer inspired me. The uncertainty of the pandemic put my dream job on hold, but it led me to discover a new passion—crafting polymer clay jewelry.

This brand is a heartfelt tribute to my grandma, my biggest supporter, and first customer. Throughout my life, I often doubted my worth, which never rang more true than in the pandemic when I had no idea what the future held for me. My grandma never wavered in her belief in me. Hearing others speak about how she proudly shared my achievements made me see myself through her eyes.

Butterflies were a symbol of my grandma’s spirit; she never left the house without one—whether on her clothing, jewelry, shoes, or even the notepads she carried in her purse. Her love for butterflies became a part of who she was and, naturally, a part of who I am.

My grandma bravely fought ovarian cancer for nearly eight years, and teal, the color of the ovarian cancer ribbon, became her emblem of strength and resilience. It felt only right to weave this powerful color into our brand’s name and logo.

At Teal Butterfly Clay Co., every piece of jewelry I create carries a piece of my grandmother’s spirit, celebrating the unique beauty and strength in all of us.
