About Sunkissed Gems

Welcome to Sunkissed Gems, where the beauty of the ocean and the warmth of the sun come together in every piece of jewelry I make! I’m the creator behind this brand, and the heart of my shop is inspired by my life as a mom, crafter, and beach lover.

As the mom of two teenagers and a step mom to a beautiful young woman, life has always been full of movement, never slowing down. My step daughter, Brittany is a elementary school teacher, my son, Gage is a sophomore in college and my daughter, Jordan is now a senior in high school. Now that my kids are older and need their Mom a little less, I can fully dive into my creativity and explore my deep connection to nature. Over the years, we’ve spent countless vacations by the beach, where the ocean breeze, golden sand, and vibrant local cultures left an impression on my heart. These trips, filled with moments of joy and a ton of love, inspired the coastal and sunshine-infused designs you see here.

Crafting has been a lifelong passion of mine. I started making jewelry a few years ago and it has quickly become my favorite obsession. Despite my love for jewelry, I would struggle to wear it as I got older, due to the physical challenges of aging hands and joints. Fastening small hooks and clasps was so difficult, it turned a seemingly simple task into an extremely frustrating one. This personal challenge has driven me to design affordable, quality jewelry that is beautiful and accessible to everyone, despite age and physical limitations. After all, we all know how much elegant jewelry added to an outfit can transform the look!

At Sunkissed Gems, I hope to help people reignite their love for jewelry, making it so easily accessible you wonder why you stopped wearing it in the first place. Thank you for being part of our journey!

Warmly,
Alexis Parker
