About the maker

I flew helicopters before this. Now jewelry is the work — chosen because it lets me be home with my son. Design by Athena is named for a marble statue that belonged to my mother, on my workbench since before there was a studio. Twelve years in, still just me at the bench.

Testimonials

Quality product. I was looking for something water resistant that can handle a beach vacation.

Dainty and really cute. It is a little on the larger side, but I have really small ankles. There is only one that doesn't have the additional space to clip it closer. Over all, really good!
