| Your Favorite Whimsical Stamp Jewelry |
Once upon a time, way back last century in 1991, we debuted our
first arty jewelry pieces.
Cinderella Lucinda is a partnership business comprised of my
husband and myself. No, fortunately, his name is not Cinderella
and although I love the name, mine is not Lucinda. However, my
genetic heritage is Native American and Cinderella Lucinda was
the actual, given name of one of my Native American ancestors
from the 1800’s.
It is an honor to bring such a fun and historic name to our business
while catching the whimsical nature of our jewelry in an easy-to-
remember way.
Cinderella, the lead character from the fairy tale, was all about
transformation, a key theme in life. It is also the central theme in our
jewelry, taking what has been before—a stamp, some beads, and
a little charm—and transforming them into something brand new. In
this way, my husband and I consider ourselves fairy godparents.
And last, but not least, “Cinderella” is a term from the stamp
collecting world, overlooked treasures that have the potential to
become valuable. Or at least that’s my spin on the definition. But
add these together, whimsy, heritage, transformation and treasure,
and you’ve got the ingredients for a classy pin or a sassy pair of
earrings.
Congratulations! You’ve just graduated from our History 101.
