About Us
Sunny Surf is a family owned handmade business. Liz launched the business in 2020 during the first wave of the covid-19 pandemic after her job as a fitness center aquatics director was eliminated in covid induced cut-backs. Liz's has always made jewelry for herself and as gifts for loved ones. Julie has been creating hand forged sterling silver jewelry for six years after taking a metalsmithing class where she fell in love with the craft and has been hooked ever since.
After losing her office job, Liz took the leap of faith to turn her passion into a career. Always having been in awe of Julie's talent, Liz convinced her to join in the adventure. Riding the wave to success has brought much new learning and exposure to many new friends and contacts.
Our company is truly a close community effort. Liz's and Julie's husbands are enthusiastic supporters, Liz's children navigate Sunny Surf's social media accounts, and Aunt Gin helps make the jewelry and brings laughter to every work session. Liz's best friend Stann lends his graphic design genius, and neighbor Amanda's step-by-step guidance has been invaluable.
Both of our families have spent generations on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, and we have visited, for business and pleasure, over 40 different beach towns on the east and west coasts of the United States. Our jewelry collections are named after these different beach spots. Each destination added to our story.
It is never too late to write your story. Let Sunny Surf bring you some beach joy to inspire
penning your own story. After all, happiness comes in waves!
