Hey Wildflower,
THE BRAND STORY
PINQY SWEAR, like its namesake, is a jewelry and lifestyle brand that playfully invites you to make the powerful promise to be your authentic self, unapologetically. Our mantra, ‘Fuck It. Wear You™️’ encourages breaking
free from the bonds of boring trends and beauty standards, and wearing your uniqueness with confidence and style.
PINQY SWEAR designs celebrate self-love, full freedom of
expression, and embracing your singular gifts and perfectly-imperfect charm. Each one-of-a-kind design features fabulous
flaws that make it all the more beautiful, just like you. PINQYSWEAR jewelry intentionally juxtaposes rugged and smooth textures, precious and practical gemstones, and straight and crooked lines, reflecting the contrast that creates the beauty in the people and things we love. There is nothing cookie-cutter about it, as it’s deliciously designed for those who dare to live authentically, and in turn live well.
When you wear PINQY SWEAR, you’re wearing more than just a
pretty piece of jewelry. Our signature scripted pinky rings feature empowering mantras that foster radical self-acceptance and expression in those ascending into higher purpose, bigger dreams, and greater love. Each adornment is a personal pact you make with yourself (or the person you gift it to), to love yourself unconditionally. When you wear PinqySwear, you wear you.
Tell your story in style, HERE. You’ll look and feel fucking ah-mazing doing it. We promise.

THE BACK STORY
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a designer. As an introverted, eccentric kid, I took refuge in my imagination, where I could consciously curate my life and sift through the good and bad to find beauty. Myfavorite thing to design was my look: from my hair to my jewelry, to my clothes, I had a gift for reworking and repurposing the discarded treasures I found at thrift stores and around my house to create my unique style. I just wanted to look and feel beautiful, as I secretly struggled with self-doubt and insecurities that many of us grapple with in childhood.
So, my biggest design job was and still is, interior design:arranging the complicated and heavy emotions of growing up with a terminally ill parent in an unstable family structure. My mother, through her battle with breast cancer, was my biggest design influence. Seeing her stripped of her breasts after two mastectomies, and still standing confidently in strength, gratitude, and grace is where I learned the power of radical self-acceptance,
and how to turn battle scars into beauty marks.
Now, I hope to inspire others to do the same. As an adult, I
still grapple with self-doubt and insecurities, but I no longer try to do it in secret. Instead, I do it in style. When I moved to NYC for grad school, I started making jewelry from scraps of leather I’d find while exploring the fashion district for fun. That hobby turned into a healing meditation, and path to purpose and self-expression. With the memory of my mom as my muse, designing
jewelry empowered me to wear life’s challenges as accessories - eye-catching gems of experience and wisdom - on the woman I’ve become, rather than hiding
them in drawers of shame and despair. I’m learning to wear me, and styling my life and business in a way that hopefully inspires you to wear you, too, unapologetically.
