I'm Gina Middaugh, and I'm beyond excited to share my creations with you. For nearly 20 years, creating pieces of inspiration has been a part of my life, and I'm thrilled to offer my handmade jewelry to the world.

I graduated from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) with a degree in Wildlife Ecology, specializing in Biology. Throughout my career, I’ve had a variety of roles, but most recently, I spent over 22 years in education, including time as an elementary school principal. As a mother of four beautiful children, I always balanced my career with family life. However, I've since stepped away from education for good to pursue what truly keeps me at peace.  I am still exploring what to do with my life and I'm putting myself out there. 

My love for crafting started at a young age. My grandmother taught me how to sew and crochet, and later, she introduced me to beadwork. I vividly remember making my first necklaces with tiny seed beads – that's where my jewelry journey began! I am mostly a self-taught silversmith, and I love working with sterling silver, brass, and copper. In 2006, I started creating with Precious Metal Clay (PMC) for friends and family, and gradually expanded my skills to traditional silversmithing. In 2007, I began selling my work online and at markets and shows. After taking some breaks, I’m excited to be back at it,  inspired by the world around me.

I use a variety of materials and tools, including saws, hammers, stamps, torches, and patina solutions to oxidize many of my pieces. Each creation reflects my love for nature, peace, growth, and love. I pour my heart into every piece, ensuring that it carries a sense of purpose and inspiration.

My hope is that the jewelry I create will inspire you to reconnect with your inner strength, beauty, and sense of purpose. Each piece is designed to remind you that you are worthy, beautiful, and capable of creating something amazing in your life, no matter what you face. Every item is handcrafted with intention and care, meant to bring confidence and inspiration to your journey.

Thank you for supporting my small business and for being part of this creative adventure!
