Shop Talk.

 I have had the distinct pleasure of being friends with Lauren for 5+ years. A creative, down-for-whatever spirit, she never fails to boost my mood/outlook on life. Her studio in San Francisco is one of the most relaxing places, and such a fun place to hang out; various other artistic people are always stopping by to say what’s up. I just like to sit in the corner and chill!

 Her jewelry has such an organic.urban feel that I fell in love with it immediately. And I am so proud to write the product copy for her website! Thank you for stopping by Lauren :)
