How It Started

Hi! I’m Sydney and I’m the founder of Syd By The Sea. I’m 12 years old (as I write this), and I love arts and crafts.

I enjoy challenges when it comes to art, and early in COVID quarantine, I needed a new challenge. I knew it had to be something that I had never done before. I also knew that it had to be something I would enjoy.

With lots of help from my parents I came up with the idea for jewelry, but what kind of jewelry? Well, that’s when the ideas started flowing in.

I could have chosen any kind of jewelry but I decided on resin because I wanted to learn to use epoxy. Specifically, I wanted to make resin jewelry inspired by the sea. All the colors, shapes, and feelings of my coastal town put into simple modern jewelry.

And that’s exactly what I did.

I now do custom jewelry inspired by my town and I LOVE it. I hope you love it too!
