Get to know the designer

Hello, I’m McKenzie-the founder and owner of MAVE Jewelry.

My passion for jewelry began at a young age, when I received my first jewelry-making kit for Christmas. From that moment on, I was hooked-creating countless pieces for myself and gifting them to friends for every special occasion. It was more than just a hobby; it became a part of who I was. I vividly remember dreaming of someday having my own business where I make and sell my handmade jewelry to others. 

Before launching MAVE, I spent three wonderful years as a permanent jewelry artist. That experience laid the foundation for where I am today. While I loved the connections, creativity and purpose that came with permanent jewelry, I felt it was time to turn the page and start a new chapter.

MAVE began at my kitchen table, inspired by a simple bracelet stack I made for myself. As I played with different bead patterns, I couldn’t help but wonder-could this become something more? Just a few days later, MAVE was born.

Each bracelet is made with intention, care, and a whole lot of heart. My hope is that your stack brings you a sense of confidence and effortless style every time you put them on. 

xoxo, McKenzie
