About the creator

Hi! Thank you for stopping by my shop!

My name is Susan and I am the designer and creator behind OuGem. My philosophy has aways been that "it's ok to be different".  I raised two beautiful daughters that were brought up under that ideology.  Being different is unique and being unique shows that we are masters of our own lives.  We all have our own personal style and it's ok if it's different from everyone else.  I have always loved unicorns because they are a mythical creature that's rare, unique and one of a kind, so it was the perfect logo to represent OuGem.

I inherited my love for jewelry from the passing of a member of my extended family who shared her many artistic talents through different programs throughout her life. They immediately thought of me because I was always crafty and they thought who better a person to receive such a generous gift of her acquired extensive collection of beads and findings than me.  It was overwhelming at first, but after many days of sorting, organizing, viewing, touching and feeling each item, I fell in love with the idea of being able to create beautiful pieces in her memory.

I hope you enjoy diving into my collection of handcrafted pieces that are unique and one of a kind.  Each piece is designed to make a statement and is the ultimate accessory for those who dare to stand out and who will agree "it's ok to be different".
