I started this business in spring 2019, while on sabbatical from my full time job working in tech. I found myself searching and searching for custom bracelets at an affordable price point and found myself creating on my own when I wasn’t finding exactly what I was searching for.

Friends started asking me if I could make bracelets for them, and this business was born (I think of it as my second baby, our son Hunter was born the year before).

I built this business during my sons naps, during late nights and weekends ... it’s continued to evolve as a labor of love. I find beading soothing and I’m honored to create something that now brings so many people joy.

Why La Lumiere? After much searching, I chose La Lumiere (which means the light in French) paired with my favorite city I then called home, New York. Light has been filled with meaning for me for years, I’m an avid photographer, and remember a quote the founder of an early business I worked on mentioned in a team all hands by Leonard Cohen, “there’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” It stuck with me and held a great deal of meaning for me throughout my late 20s and into my 30s.

I’m honored you’ve made it here to learn a little bit about me and I hope I have a chance to bring you joy through some of the things I’ve created.

Sending you my very best. Xx Jessica
