About Us

Hello, I’m Christina! I live near Portland, Oregon with my family and nature. I want to create and make useful arts and crafts. I like to sew and wire-wrap jewelry from home for my business, Maiden Oregon Studios. We have an Etsy shoppe here where you can find our handmade jewelry, rocks, and crystals.

I’m hoping to share ideas and inspiration to the world. I want to learn new skills and methods of making new things! I hope I can pass on what I learn and continue to share knowledge and understanding with everyone who wants to learn.

Our Story

The Maiden Oregon Studios project started in 2011 after I graduated from Portland State University with a political science degree and a talent for jewelry making. Through the ups and downs of life and the ever-changing demands of this world, this craft business has kept me happy. Art and nature keeps me going and finding new joys out there.

The best times we had were at the Gresham Saturday Markets where me and my husband Nathaniel set up a booth to vend jewelry and crystals.

Sometimes when I’m feeling really brave, we all get to go out to Eastern Oregon and dig for thundereggs ourselves in the desert.
