Hey there, friend. I am honored that you have stopped by for a visit. My name is Laran and I enjoy putting things together and creating spirited "one of a kind" pieces of jewelry. I live outside of Kansas City, Kansas with my husband and son. We eat a lot. We travel a lot. We love a good adventure and hockey. Lots and lots of hockey.

Boho Rococo Jewelry started at our dining room table while living in Austin, Texas in the spring of  2012. I pursued an urge to "make" following the news of a scary diagnosis and treatment plan for our young boy. I unpacked some tools, bought a bunch of beads and got to work. With a degree in Art Therapy, I knew that I needed a creative outlet to relieve my focus during the many days of unfamiliarity and uncertainty that we had ahead. Beads, jaunts around Town Lake and Bota Box were my go-to's for self care. Today, "The Boy" is well, thriving and bossy. Yet, my maker's hankering still persists.

I believe each of us are able to facilitate creativity in specific and unique ways. Inspiration comes in many forms and if an idea persistently visits us, it is our responsibility to attempt to bring it to life. Great fear and frustration can come with chasing an idea, as can great fulfillment and joy when it is birthed. In her book Big Magic, Liz Gilbert writes,

"One of the oldest and most generous tricks that the universe plays on human beings is to bury strange jewels within us all, and then stand back to see if we can ever find them."

Sharing Boho Rococo and creating this humble little hodge-podgey cell phone photo taken website is my follow through. As the years tick by, I find that not pursuing is more challenging and uncomfortable than the actual pursuit. My hope is that you not only enjoy these vibrant and quirky earrings, but are also inspired to straight up chase those jewels of brilliance that keep meandering through your mind. They need you to bring them to life. Please, don't ignore them. Go now. Do the thing.

XO,

Laran
