I love working with museums, like the Japanese American National Museum, to create custom collections like this! Once they are sanded, painted and/or varnished, a jumpring is attached and they are cleaned before packaging. This carefully curated collection celebrates traditional Asian motifs with modern materials.
These designs (and other unique gifts) can be found at the Japanese American National Museum Store in Los Angeles.

One of my fondest memories of childhood visits to Colonial Williamsburg was visiting the gardens in Spring, especially when the tulips were in bloom. Did you know that the tulip symbolizes grace and elegance?
This design, along with 3 others that I designed exclusively for Colonial Williamsburg, can now be found at Tarpley, Thompson & Company on Duke of Gloucester Street. It can also be found at Brick & Vine in Merchants Square and online.
Did you know that flamingos are pink as a result of their diet high in beta carotene?
They are one of my favorite animals so I’m thrilled to announce that my handmade flamingo necklace can now be found at the Detroit Zoo!

American born with Asian roots, I’m so excited to share my culture with you during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (follow me on Instagram – @mlewjewelry). I’m proud that my work is available at museums like the Japanese American National Museum Store, including these pieces for their Mon pendant collection.
While the museum has reopened with limited hours, the onsite gift shop has remained closed for now. Orders can still be placed through their website (for shipping or onsite pickup).
