We’re Terri and Toni Hart, designers and owners of Bridgette Hart.

Our love for jewelry, art, and design started at a very young age. When I (Terri) was 5 or 6 years old, I began making jewelry from my older cousin’s plastic jewelry making kits. Over the years, I drifted away from it, but it was always a cherished activity whenever I got the chance to do it. As the years went by and we got older, we began to experience some of lifes disappointments. I developed severe anxiety and struggled with depression. 

At about 14, when I was at a really low point, a friend invited Toni and I over for a jewelry-making lesson. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it, and it my first time using real materials. It was kind of like therapy for me. Toni and I continued and we decided that we wanted to combine my natural design skills and her artistic eye to create a brand that we could really have fun with. We also wanted to show other young women that if we could overcome our struggles and fight to make our dreams come true, then they could as well.

Our ability to create quirky and colorful pieces, while still maintaining a sense of elegance truly sets us apart. The way that we use silver elements and colorful beads result in chic, timeless jewels that are meant to be worn often. Our inspiration comes straight from our imaginations. We love to close our eyes, visualize the beads and metals that we’re working with, and find the most attractive and interesting ways to put them together!

When someone comes across our brand, we really want them to feel like they’ve come across something special. Our ultimate goal is to spread positivity, to be encouraging, and to bring awareness to the importance of mental health. Every woman deserves to know that she has the power to overcome and that labels don’t define her. We want our jewelry to be a constant reminder to radiate positivity, have fun daily, and to be courageous enough to follow your heart!
