Our Story
Since 2022, Simply Unique Permanent Jewelry has been handcrafting exquisite jewelry pieces that express your
personality or captivate life's special moments. Marlies and Kristina's journey into entrepreneurship is a heartwarming tale of friendship, inspiration, and the pursuit of shared dreams. The spark that ignited their business venture can be traced back to a weekend trip to Canton, Texas, where they encountered a permanent jewelry business that left a lasting impression on them. Little did they know, this encounter would become the catalyst for their own entrepreneurial adventure.
Fueled by passion and determination, Marlies and Kristina wasted no time in turning their inspiration into action. Over that transformative weekend, they meticulously planned every aspect of their future of Simply Unique Permanent Jewelry.
What sets Marlies and Kristina apart is their deep appreciation for the sentimental value that jewelry holds for people. They understand that each piece can be a cherished symbol of love, friendship, or significant life events. With this in mind, their business is not just about selling jewelry; it's about creating meaningful connections and lasting memories.
Meet Kristina
I am originally from Philadelphia but came to Texas as fast as I could! I love Jesus, sweet tea and being crafty. I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we have 3 amazing kids who keep us busy with all their extracurricular activities. In my spare time you’ll find me under a cozy blanket with our 2 fur babies watching a good documentary or series. I have always been an entrepreneur at heart and started my first business in college, selling Cutco knives. My husband has been a great supporter through all my business endeavors and crazy ideas. I am a graduate of Texas Woman's University and have spent the last 15 years in education working with special education students and families. I love that my creativity can be utilized in my career and business. Connecting with others through acts of services brings me so much joy! I can’t wait to meet you and share the beauty behind permanent jewelry.
Meet Marlies
I was born and raised in the middle of Houston, TX and I am a graduate of the University of Houston. I am married, have two wonderful boys, and love my pets – a poodle, a boxer, and a cat. I am a band and Aggie Mom and love every minute of it! I have spent the majority of my career in advertising and marketing with large communication companies. I currently work as a manager for Texas Student Media at The University of Texas at Austin and support students in media at both UT and Texas A&M. Working with these students is rewarding as I help them navigate the world of media and contribute to their growth. Living in a house divided during college football season adds an extra layer of excitement and friendly rivalry to our lives! I love meeting new people, being out in the community and creating something special for each person to cherish.
