We recently shared the celebration of our 6th anniversary, launching the Erin Pelicano Brand. I am filled with gratitude for each of you that have been a part of our community of spreading love.
I decided it’s time to re-introduce myself and share my story.
EPJ is inspired by both the joy and suffering of my own life. In my twenties I lost my brother, my only sibling, and it rocked my family to its core. Less than one year later my husband and I welcomed our first child into the world. In that short span of time I experienced the greatest sorrow and the greatest happiness imaginable. Several years and two more babies later I launched EPJ with a vision of offering love, light, and inspiration for people to share.
Life has a funny way of not following your plans and it turned my focus from an engineering career to a path to follow my heart in creating a brand that celebrates love and life. Hailing from a small town in Maryland and obsessed with ice cream; I grew up with a love of family, pretty things, and a mind for math. My earliest memories of jewelry are tied to playing dress up with my grandmother in her stashes of makeup and jewelry.
With a passion to create and learn, my husband and I found ourselves in silversmithing class date nights at our local Weinberg Visual Arts Center. Then one memorable holiday season, I found myself creating pretty little inspirational jewelry gifts – and the vision of our brand was born.
The EPJ brand has grown into a family business, as Richard and I now work as a team, spreading love and inspiration and celebration of family.
Designing from a personal and thoughtful place in my heart I start each day with a deep gratitude for my life and my family, and tend to the quiet ache of loss in my heart. I imagine everyone around waking to their own joys and loss – and I strive to inspire these tender pieces of your heart.
I create jewelry to celebrate your story… life’s collateral beauty.
