Created by Seattle jewelry artist Nancy Hom in 2006, the name is inspired by her mom, Sun Lan Hom. Nancy's mother taught her how to sew and knit at a young age. Late at night, she watched her make costume jewelry during off hours to extend the family budget. As an adult, Nancy became a fashion designer and mixed her passion for textiles, nature and metal working into her collection. Each item is custom and hand made by Nancy.
