About
My Story
Originally from Troutdale, Oregon, I bring a creative and deeply personal touch to every event through my charm bar experience, Ciao Charms—a name chosen for its global appeal and the warm, informal feeling it carries. In Italy, “ciao” is used with friends and family to say both hello and goodbye, reflecting the sense of connection and familiarity I strive to create.
In 2019, my daughter Jade was stillborn, and a family member gave me a necklace with her initial and birthstone that I wore every day. When I started my charm bar, I began expressing my story and emotions through charms, and it opened my eyes to how meaningful personalized jewelry can be. I realized so many others feel the same way—whether it represents a child, a pet, a passion like the mountains or dance, or a special memory, designing your own jewelry becomes a truly personal experience. My business offers custom charm necklaces and accessories, along with on-site laser engraving to create one-of-a-kind pieces. I also offer upgraded PVD jewelry options, which are more affordable and known for their durability—something that’s especially important to me when providing quality pieces that last. I provide services for a wide range of events including pop-ups, private parties, fundraisers, kids’ events, markets, and one-on-one appointments. I specialize in group experiences for bridal showers, bachelorette parties, cheer and dance teams, as well as large-scale events like festivals and rodeos, and I’m also available for corporate events—creating a fun, interactive experience guests won’t forget.
