The Story of Us

We began as Wendy Wise Originals in the charming town of Saugatuck, Michigan, where the natural beauty of Lake Michigan and the vibrant arts community inspired a vision for unique, handcrafted designs. This journey took shape with a simple passion for creating one-of-a-kind and limited edition jewelry pieces that echoed the essence of the surrounding landscape and the artistic spirit of the area.

The initial offerings consisted of small, curated collections that highlighted the interplay of color, texture, and form found in the natural gemstones selected for each piece. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, every item embodied a blend of timeless elegance and contemporary style. As the brand grew, a commitment to sustainability and quality became paramount, ensuring that each creation was not only beautiful but also responsibly made.

Over the years, Wendy Wise Originals evolved into Wendy Wise Designs. This transition marked a shift away from a traditional brick-and-mortar jewelry studio and gallery, allowing for an expanded global reach through both, retailing and wholesaling unique products online. Throughout this transformation, the commitment to exceptional quality and craftsmanship remained unwavering. This new model has facilitated connections with customers worldwide, all while celebrating the artistry inherent in each piece.

Today, Wendy Wise Designs continues to honor the original vision rooted in the charm of Saugatuck, enhancing the focus on creativity, craftsmanship, and community. Each creation reflects a devotion to beauty and sustainability, maintaining the ideals that have always been at the heart of the brand.
