Pewter Squirrel charms with garnet "nut", brecciated jasper, carnelian, and red aventurine beads

Squirrels

Made with love in Bloomington, Indiana.

Lilamokus Designs grew out of the desire to create unique, every-day style of jewelry. It all started when I wanted to make a specific pair of earrings that I really wanted but couldn’t find to buy anywhere. I made that set of earrings, and then some similar earrings for friends, and then my hobby turned into a multitude of ideas for earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Later, my love of puzzles became incorporated into some of my designs. These jewelry pieces then led to ideas for various puzzle-related crafts.

The name Lilamokus literally means Purple Squirrel in Hungarian. The name came from my love of squirrels and the color purple. But, it turns out Purple Squirrel is a business term for that perfect employee you’ll never be able to hire. Which I thought was perfect because now I’m my own Purple Squirrel employee!

My Every Day and Puzzle jewelry are primarily designed to be worn every day but can spruce up special occasions too. Please contact me if you have any questions about anything you see or would like something special made!
