In your own words, tell us about your business, organization, or initiative.
Heart Lynx Jewelry & Charm Bar started as a fundraiser to help cover my mother’s medical expenses for her heart condition.
My business is based on my mission to help- Since Heart Lynx started out as a fundraiser, we want to continue giving back to the local community. We want to be able to give a piece of our heart to good causes. With the outpouring of support I received, I want to channel it back into the community.
Every piece of jewelry I weld has purpose. Whether it is upgrading a 20-year-old friendship bracelet, or celebrating a milestone. The bonds behind each piece celebrate a unique experience. Our service is quick & fun, perfect for entertaining guests! We are experienced in high-volume events and intimate private parties.
Tell us a bit about you and why you do what you do. Share your passions for your business, organization, or initiative.
When I started to learn how to do permanent jewelry, I thought it was such a cool & trendy service.
I wanted it to become more than a few strands of jewelry welded together. I wanted to share this concept for a good cause.
With much success just in my backyard & achieving my goal to help my mom, I decided to find my own space where I could offer my services to the public.
I love meeting people near & far – Helping them celebrate a milestone, remember a trip, or a loved one. Our jewelry becomes more than just a piece of sparkle. It becomes a part of your everyday style that holds significance.
I am a mother myself to a 2-year-old little boy, so anything I wear needs to be durable & functional, just like the jewelry I create!
What is the last thing you read, watched, or listened to that had an impact on you?
I am a really spiritual person so I love getting tarot readings to help guide & motivate me.
What’s the one thing people would be surprised to learn about you or your business?
Heart Lynx’s name comes from the reason I created my business- Heart for my mother & Lynx is actually my Son’s name. My first name Manirichana also has a significant wordplay on it. In Sanskrit my name means Jeweled Creations ( Mani- means Jewels & Richana means Creations/ creativity).
