Our Story

I've always believed that jewelry is meant to be worn and enjoyed every day—not just tucked away in a box. After running Milan Weddings, a wedding decorating business, for ten years, I found myself at a crossroads when I sold it. My family encouraged me to find a new creative outlet, and that’s when I discovered a love for making gemstone bracelets.

In September 2020, Mumu Beads was born! What started as a passion project quickly grew into something more—a way to create meaningful, custom gemstone bracelets, as well as carefully crafted necklaces and earrings. Every piece is made with love, and I couldn’t be more excited to share them with you!

People often ask me where the name Mumu Beads comes from. It’s inspired by my youngest daughter, Maarya—or Mumu, as we lovingly call her.

Maarya has faced challenges with epilepsy, myasthenia gravis, and cognitive delays, but she fills our world with so much love and warmth. She has this incredible zest for life, a big heart, and a love for Disney villains, music, and snuggles. If you’d like to see more of her journey, you can follow along on Instagram at @celebrating_maarya.

Being around her has taught us so much—how to embrace every day with gratitude, find joy in the little things, and spread kindness wherever we go. My biggest hope is that every piece from Mumu Beads not only looks beautiful but also carries the same warmth and happiness that Maarya brings into my life.


With love,
