About us

Saturate started as a New Year's resolution and a leap back into the workforce. Since my children were getting older, I felt like I needed to rediscover a purpose outside of family life. In January 2024, while getting ready one morning I came across a broken earring that had been broken for some time and I thought to myself, Why don't I just learn how to fix this? That simple question quickly led to and even bigger one: Why don't I learn how to make jewelry altogether? And just like that, Saturate was born.

My passion for fashion and color started as a teenager when I would spend hours flipping through Vogue and Bazaar magazines (my two favorites), soaking in all the curated beauty and artistic elements. Long before the internet, I would look up the boutiques in the back of the magazines and make long-distance calls (when they cost money!), and have the catalogs mailed to me. Each catalog felt like a special portal to a world of fashion and exclusivity. 

Saturate brings that excitement to life, combining quality materials, semi-precious stones, and creative designs. Being intentional with our production as almost all pieces are made to order. Our packaging is thoughtfully designed to reflect the brand's vibrant, personal touch. Each order arrives in our custom boxes adorned with our wax seal that makes each recipient feel giddy with excitement when opening.

Beyond jewelry, we're passionate about giving back. Our special "Hattie" earrings are a tribute to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's mission, and 50% of the proceeds from each pair go directly to support their work in treating pediatric cancer. Saturate is about making a statement- not only through fashion but also through compassion and purpose.
