I'm Ashley Bradshaw, the founder and creative mind behind this jewelry brand.
 Every piece in this collection is inspired by my love for the ocean, island life, and the beauty of simple moments under the sun. 

 The story of Salty Mist began with a single necklace—a cherished piece that broke and left me heartbroken. When my mom reached out to a jeweler friend for help, I discovered something unexpected: the art of jewelry repair and creation.

 That friend not only fixed my necklace but also showed me how to do it myself. In that moment, my passion for jewelry design was born. I started working as a pieceworker in her shop, learning the craft and soaking up inspiration. 

 She became both a mentor and a dear friend, encouraging me to follow my passion and bring my own creations to life. Salty Mist is the result of that journey—a brand born from a love of design, craftsmanship, and the natural beauty that surrounds us. 
 
Each piece in the Salty Mist collection is handmade by me, with care and intention. I draw inspiration from the simplicity and charm of island living: the sound of waves crashing, the warmth of the sun on your skin, and the salty mist that lingers in the air. 

 When you wear Salty Mist jewelry, I hope it takes you back to those moments—whether you’re strolling on the beach, daydreaming about the sea, or simply adding a touch of ocean-inspired beauty to your everyday life. 

 Thank you for being part of this journey. I hope you love wearing these pieces as much as I love creating them for you! 

 With love, 
 Ashley
