Bronwen Lodato
Founder/CEO
Why Bronwen? I love playing on this team! I've never met a more capable line-up of Swiss Army Knife women! Working collectively on creating beautiful jewelry for active women actually makes us all more creative individually. I can't name a single other job I'd rather have.
Current Obsession: I'm ashamed to admit that I don't often change my jewelry uniform and currently I'm living in the Essential Huggie Hoops, gold - they are the only earrings I can sleep in AND still look snazzy with all the "fancy" stuff in my closet. I also haven't taken off the Friendship Rings set of three since we made them. They represent my lovely little family of 3.
AMELIA VALLETON
Business Operations
Why Bronwen? I was a fan of Bronwen and the mission long before coming onboard. A brand that is all about empowering women to feel good enjoying an active life, creating a sustainable product, supporting local community and global efforts - count me in! Add to that working with a group of amazingly creative women, wearing the jewelry and being part of the collaborative process truly makes it a great place to be!
Current Obsession: The Active Crystal necklace. I’m wearing it nearly every day and have it in both lengths for different layering looks. It’s versatile and adds just a bit of sparkle to everyday!
Cara mcGarvey
Product Development Operations
Why Bronwen? Every day I get to work with a group of women who genuinely support each other and make you feel like you’re capable of doing anything! It’s hard to not feel empowered when I am surrounded by my little jewelry family.
Current Obsession: My current faves are my short Catania earrings in gold - they're a perfect way to dress up my typically cozy and *ultra* casual day to day outfit. If I'm feeling extra snazzy I'll pop a pair of gold Handy Huggie Hoops into my second set to complete the vibe!
Melissa Kelley
Sourcing/Fulfillment Operations
Why Bronwen? I had the pleasure of meeting Bronwen while living here in Bend and once a position became available to be a part of the Bronwen Jewelry team, I jumped at the chance. Literally, jumped! Working with a creative crew of women who share the love of being outdoors makes it seem like it's not even work.
Current Obsession: I love the new design of the Active Crystal Necklace. It is a fresh look on a classic Bronwen piece. It is the perfect pop of sparkle by itself and it is so lightweight, I forget I am even wearing it. Plus, I never leave my house without my gold honeybee posts.
Ingrid Decker
Production/Design Lead
Why Bronwen? I get to make beautiful art all day while venting and laughing and listening to music with these amazing women. Doing what I love with such a supportive team makes a workday not feel like work.
Current Obsession: I'm currently loving the pathfinder bracelet, it's delicate looking but strong as heck. And I love the Featherlight, it's nice to have such a lightweight necklace I can put on and forget about.
Alice Reed
Production
Why Bronwen? As a proud member of the Bronwen Jewelry team, I am inspired every day by the empowering and supportive women I work alongside. At Bronwen we're more than just a company, we're a community dedicated to celebrating and empowering women who thrive in the outdoors. I love being part of a team that creates beautiful, sustainable and durable jewelry. Working here allows me to combine my passion for the outdoors with my love for craftsmanship to a brand that embodies strength, resilience and elegance.
Current Obsession: I love my In The Flow Necklace! It's simple, beautiful and versatile to wear every day!
Beatrice Howell
Retail Store Manager/Social Media
Why Bronwen? I adore this team! I stand behind the values of a brand that creates sustainable products, supports fair trade, and celebrates women. I honestly feel grateful every day because I've been provided a platform to grow as a professional, while being supported by a group that feels like family. Plus – I'm always learning something new! Being an outdoorsy, creative gal who lives an active lifestyle, Bronwen Jewelry is the perfect niche.
Current Obsession: I won't lie about the fact that I have a sparkle obsession. I never take off my Pyrite Journey necklace. It's the right balance of simple, durable and glam! You can find me wearing gemstones at the climbing crag ;) #SorryNotSorry
KACEY TAYLOR
Retail Sales
Why Bronwen? I love selling high quality products for active outdoor women and I adore the entrepreneurial story behind the brand. Being able to feel a little more feminine in the backcountry or while dirt bagging around, makes Bronwen Jewelry a perfect choice for my lifestyle.
Current Obsession: The Enamel Cascade earrings! They’re light and fun. I can sleep in them, bike in them and they pair well with my Happy Hour outfit, when I clean up and attempt to look like I didn’t just walk out of the woods. I love these styles that I can play in in the backcountry but also wear to town. Less is more and 1 pair does it all!
Holly Dierdorff
Retail Sales
Why Bronwen? I have been a Bronwen jewelry fan for years and am constantly complimented on any piece that I might be wearing. When an opportunity came up to work for this incredible company, I couldn’t hide my excitement because I not only love the jewelry, I love the story behind the company. I am excited to now be part of this amazing team and share the joy and beauty with others in the retail store.
Current Obsession: Hands down, the cascade earrings. I have them in different lengths in both gold and silver. They are my go-to earring for travel or work because they are so lightweight but bring an elegance to any look. I am also loving the journey necklace in turquoise for a fun pop of color.
Amy Sidran
Retail Sales
Why Bronwen? I was introduced to the Bronwen line and then Bronwen the woman almost 8 years ago...the rest is history! Our friendship has grown stronger over the years, and I love supporting my friend in her journey. Working for a company that supports strong women, ethical practices, and creates jewelry that endures life's adventures and celebrates life's journeys has been incredibly fulfilling. Our shared experiences and the bond of friendship have made this journey even more special.
Current Obsession: The Circle of Life symbol has repeatedly appeared throughout my life, representing connection, balance, and community. I can wear it in the river, on the trail, or out for the night without ever worrying about it, and it quietly reminds me of the power of the interconnectedness of life.
