Our Keychain is not only our bestseller, but also our favorite as well! Keys can so easily get overwhelming with house, mailbox, and office keys. They also can be so hard to find!

Each one is uniquely made, and no two look the exact same.

The Naturalist exists to create unique polymer clay jewelry and accessory pieces. Started by two roommates in their senior year of college, Nikki now runs and owns The Naturalist. Over the last couple years, she has had the privilege and honor of getting to use this business as a way to connect with other creatives, and even more importantly, employ local low income high school girls. Through their time working together, Nikki taught them not only how to create polymer clay products, but the dignity that comes from their work.
