Hello! My name is Annie, I am the owner of Ostrich Moon and the creator of every piece that is made by OM today.

My love for antiques really started because I've always been drawn to things that stand out. In a world where everything can feel mass-produced and trending, I found comfort in the unusual and the extraordinary. Antiques had that appeal – they were like hidden gems, each with its own story to tell.

While exploring antique shops, estate sales, and flea markets, I stumbled upon the world of vintage charms and estate jewelry. The idea struck me – why not use these antique charms to craft jewelry in a unique and modern way? I thought that these tiny forgotten pieces of history that once adorned someone's wrist or neck should be repurposed and cherished once again.

And so, my journey to creating hand knotted pieces with one of a kind charms began. It became all about blending history, quality, and personal style into wearable stories. Each piece I make is a nod to the history of the individual components, as well as a way to tell our own stories and express our own uniqueness.

I like to see my creations as more than just jewelry - they're symbols of ourselves, worn as a reminder to be rooted in who we authentically are. They stand as a token to embrace individuality in a world that often pushes us to blend in.

Thank you for following along.
