Our Story
While raising my babies, I found myself longing for something that was mine—a place to create, dream, and reconnect with the part of me that loved beautiful things
TheLumbeeCottage began as a quiet idea in 2020.
I knew I wanted it to honor my Lumbee heritage, even if I didn't yet know what it would become.
Then I thought about the Carolina coast.
Growing up, trips to the beach were rare and special. My siblings and I would spend hours by the waves, sharing simple meals and wandering past boutique windows filled with timeless pearls and jewelry that felt just out of reach.
Years later, I realized I wasn't trying to recreate those moments—I wanted to recreate the feeling they gave me.
Today, TheLumbeeCottage creates heirloom-inspired jewelry so more women can experience that same quiet beauty, carrying a little piece of the coast wherever life takes them.
Collected slowly. Worn gently. Rooted in Lumbee heritage.
