Our Story

33 + SUNNY BEGAN WITH A BEAD PURCHASE THAT I HAD BEEN RESISTING FOR MONTHS. ADMIRING BEADS, ADDING TO CART, NEVER PURCHASING. I DIDN’T NEED ANOTHER EXPENSIVE CREATIVE HOBBY - SURELY!? AT THE TIME, I HAD A SMALL BUSINESS MAKING MACRAME WALL HANGINGS. A STORY FOR ANOTHER DAY, BUT IT WASN’T MAKING MUCH MONEY, WHICH ADDED TO THE APPREHENSION OF BUYING MORE “CREATIVE SUPPLIES”.

 

FINALLY I GAVE IN AND I WAS COMPLETELY INSPIRED. IF I THOUGHT THE BEADS WERE BEAUTIFUL ONLINE, THEY WERE 10 TIMES MORE SPECIAL TO HOLD IN MY HANDS AND CREATE WITH.

 

FAST FORWARD PAST THE LACK OF SELF BELIEF, PERCEIVED FAILURES (AKA BEAUTIFUL, NECESSARY LESSONS) AND MY BEAUTIFUL SLOW SEASON OF MOTHERING THAT ALLOWED FOR LITTLE ELSE, AND I FINALLY LANDED IN SOME TRUTH - I WANT TO DO THIS JEWELLERY THING FOR REAL. I LOVE WHAT I DO.

I LOVE WHAT JEWELLERY ALLOWS US TO EXPRESS AND HOW IT CAN MAKE US FEEL, IF CHOSEN FROM THE HEART AND SELECTED WITH INTENTION. I LOVE CONTRIBUTING BEAUTIFUL THINGS TO THE WORLD, AND WHAT THE PROCESS OF MAKING GIVES ME. PRESENCE, CONNECTION AND CREATIVITY.

AND SO, 33 + SUNNY WAS BORN IN 2023 AND HAS BEEN SLOWLY GROWING, EVOLVING EVER SINCE.

 

NOW, 33 + SUNNY IS MORE THAN JEWELLERY - IT’S A SPACE FOR SELF-EXPRESSION AND REMEMBRANCE. WHAT DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU WEAR YOUR JEWELS. WHAT PARTS OF YOU LIGHT UP? IT’S ABOUT BEING IN CONNECTION WITH OURSELVES - MAYBE EVEN RECONNECTING WITH PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN BURIED FOR A WHILE. EACH PIECE IS DESIGNED TO SPARK JOY AND TO HELP YOU EXPRESS WHO YOU ARE, IN WHATEVER SEASON YOU’RE IN.

 

FOR ME AS A MAKER AND DESIGNER, IT’S ALSO ABOUT CREATING A LIFE THAT FEELS SOFT, INTENTIONAL, AND TRUE. I AM A MOTHER FIRST AND FOREMOST, AND BECAUSE OF 33 + SUNNY, (AND MY INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE PARTNER) I AM ABLE TO MOVE THROUGH LIFE IN A WAY THAT LETS ME PRIORITISE MY KIDS AND MY ROLE AS A MAMA. I AM PROUD TO ROLE MODEL THIS WAY OF LIVING TO MY KIDS. TO BE A LITTLE CORNY, IT ALLOWS ME TO LIVE OUT A DREAM.

 

THANK YOU SO (SO SO SOOOO) MUCH FOR BEING HERE. I HOPE SOMETHING YOU DISCOVER TODAY FEELS LIKE A LITTLE PIECE OF YOU.
