• Seelye Design

    — by Hannah & Kathy

    Hannah and Kathy French are a mother-daughter duo and the co-founders of Seelye Designs, a jewelry brand and workshop studio established in 2022. Named after Kathy’s great-grandmother’s maiden name, Seelye symbolizes the intergenerational passing of craftsmanship and tradition. Hannah, based in Brooklyn, and Kathy, in Boulder, combine their backgrounds in fashion, styling, and retail to create a unique jewelry experience focused on community, education, and hands-on creativity.

  • At the heart of Seelye Designs is the ancient technique of lost wax carving, which Hannah and Kathy teach through popular in-person workshops and at-home jewelry-making kits. They believe in making jewelry design accessible and meaningful—whether for crafting wedding bands, celebrating milestones, or transforming heirloom stones into new treasures. Their approach turns jewelry-making into a social, therapeutic, and deeply personal ritual, fostering connection and creativity among participants.

    What began as an experimental “sip-and-make” concept quickly grew into a movement. Their workshops sold out rapidly, revealing a strong desire for creative community engagement. In May 2024, they opened a permanent studio in Brooklyn to meet growing demand. Seelye isn’t just a brand—it’s a platform for storytelling, empowerment, and honoring the women who inspire them. Through workshops and custom designs, they build lasting relationships with clients who return not just to create, but to connect.
