About Jess

Crafted by heart and hands.

Hi, I’m Jess—designer, beachcomber, and the heart behind Waves and Stone. I live in Virginia Beach, where the rhythm of the tide and the glow of golden hour inspire every piece I create. Waves and Stone was born from quiet walks along the shoreline, pockets filled with shells, sandy toes, and stories.

At the end of 2024, original founders, Hannah and Brittany, were nearing the end of their Waves and Stone journey. With a desire to keep their dream and years of hard work alive, they passed Waves & Stone on to me in the spring of 2025.

To me, jewelry isn’t just something you wear—it’s something you carry. A sun-drenched memory. A piece of the ocean. A reminder of late nights with friends under the stars, the first break of dawn silhouetting surfers, and the feeling of sunshine on your face. It's where you feel alive, grounded, and wonderfully small in comparison to the vast ocean.

With Waves and Stone, I handcraft delicate, coastal-inspired pieces that feel like treasures from your favorite East Coast seaside town—refined, relaxed, and full of meaning. From freshwater pearls to golden textures that mimic wind-blown dunes, each design is rooted in nature and made to move with you.

Whether you're layering for brunch by the bay or gifting someone a piece of the East Coast, I hope you find something here that feels like home.

Thank you for being here—I'm so glad our paths have crossed.

With love and salty air,
Jess
