Travel Diary
Happy International Women’s Day! Today, (and every day) we celebrate incredible women around the world.
“The world needs strong women. Women who will lift and build others, who will love and be loved. Women who live bravely, both tender and fierce. Women of indomitable will.” – Amy Tenney
To our artisan partners in Kenya, our community, and all who support & inspire us in so many ways – thank you!
New year, new designs! We’re super excited to be launching new designs this year and offering more customization options. Did you know you can customize our signature ID ring? Yes! Commemorate a loved one, special date, or add an empowering mantra. Our Make It Your Own Ring can be engraved with up to 8 letters or numbers.
At the beginning of last year, one thing became evident right away. Beauty was the thing that was going to sustain us. Whether it was neighbors helping each other, parents and children learning in a whole new way, trying our hand at baking bread, or hosting a family reunion on Zoom. The beautiful and tender moments we created buoyed us and kept us going.
Things of beauty touch the soul.
At PHOEBE, we hope to inspire and create beauty through jewelry and our partnership with artisans in Kenya. There was never a more critical time to connect and care than in this year.
Cheers to inspirational beauty and a new year - may the year ahead be lighter and brighter for you, and for all around the world! With gratitude to all who supported us and who continue to support our mission. Happy New Year!

A behind-the-scenes look at our signature ID ring in the making! Pictured here in Kibera, Kenya is the beginning stages of our ID ring, which has just been cut from a sheet of upcycled brass, and is headed onto polishing.
This piece and every piece we make is intricately handcrafted by incredibly talented artisans in Kenya, who utilize centuries-old techniques. When you shop PHOEBE, your purchase supports artisan entrepreneurs in Kenya through access to gainful employment, fair wages, safe working environments, as well as education for at-risk youth.
We met blogger and fashionista, Rachel Joyce, at a pop-up shop this past Spring. She’s a badass writer, women’s advocate, and entrepreneur, so when she approached us about doing an interview for her digital magazine, ‘You Must Love Life‘, naturally, we were thrilled.
“When women come together, there’s no stopping us,” says Rachel. The launch of the YYML Fall/Winter issue is all about delving into what it means it be a multidimensional woman and celebrates women of all different shapes, sizes, and backgrounds.
“We’re complex and beautiful human beings with lots of interests. This issue is for all who want to forge the new path of what it means to be a woman today.”
You can read the full PHOEBE interview and more, here.
