About Me
Hello! Welcome to Two of a Kind Earrings. My name is Nova Platt, and I hand-make every piece of jewelry that I sell here at Two of a Kind Earrings.
I began making jewelry when I was about 10 years old. At this point, I would walk through craft stores and see things that I thought looked "pretty" and threw them together however I could. I admit, these creations were pretty cringe-worthy, but as I grew up I improved my skills with the help of my mother and my aunt, who have both been making jewelry for decades.
When I was 12 years old, I participated in the Skyline Artisans Holiday Sale for the first time, a community event for the local artists in my small rural community of northwest Portland. Here, I connected with so many talented people with passions for all types of artistry. This inspired me to start my own brand and expand my sales, and this is when I came up with the name Two of a Kind Earrings. I always loved making earrings the most out of any type of jewelry, and I could never bring myself to mass produce a single piece of jewelry no matter how much I liked the design. My favorite part of the artistic process is making something new and original, making every piece of jewelry that I create one of a kind, or, in the case of earrings, two of a kind.
Now, I am 21 years old and attending school at Lewis and Clark College in southwest Portland. I still love creating jewelry and sharing those creations with others. I hope you enjoy!
