Easing back into the studio, one piece at a time

Hi, I’m Joy Franklin, the creator behind A Thousand Joys.

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared here. After a recent loss, I’ve been taking a step back and giving myself some time and space to simply be. It is moments like these that I return to my art to try and make sense of the world around me.

My artistic instinct has always been a way for me to heal, to process, and to find my way back to myself. It has carried me through some of life’s most difficult moments, and I’m finding my way back to that space again.

So, I’m slowly easing back into the studio, returning to the work, the process, and all the little moments that make creating so meaningful.

Here’s a glimpse into the workshop, where it all begins. 🤍

Persea is finally here. ✨

Inspired by the fleeting beauty of a shooting star, the new Persea pendant is handcrafted in 18k gold, with hand-engraved rays radiating from a brilliant diamond at its heart.

A little reminder that every path leaves its trace, every story leaves its mark, and every journey carries its own light.

The Persea pendant is now available on the website, as a pendant alone or with an 18k gold chain.

✨ Made to hold meaning.

Back from vacation and back to a little layered light ✨

A shooting star reminds us that even the briefest moments can leave a lasting light.

The Persea collection was inspired by these celestial moments—little symbols of hope, guidance, and light to carry with us wherever we go.

This custom pendant was created for a dear client who wanted to celebrate her little boy. Set with a single diamond at its heart, this tiny shooting star represents the joy, wonder, and immeasurable love that enters our lives in a single moment—and stays with us forever.

I love that jewelry can become more than something we wear. It can hold memories, mark milestones, and tell our stories long after the moment has passed.
It is a privilege to create pieces that become part of those stories.

This piece felt so special to me that I decided to make it part of the Persea collection. I’m looking forward to sharing the pendant with you soon—it will be arriving on my website in the coming weeks.

✨ If you could turn one memory into a piece of jewelry, what would it be?

A wedding band is such a simple thing.

Just a circle of gold.

And yet it becomes one of the most meaningful objects we will ever own.

It is there for the ordinary days and the extraordinary ones. It gathers the marks of a life well lived and, over time, becomes part of the story itself.

To be entrusted with creating something that will hold a couple’s love story is one of the greatest honors I know.

No two love stories are the same, and I don’t believe the rings that accompany them should be either.

Some are quietly understated. Others are filled with hand-engraved stars, symbols, and tiny details whose meaning is known only to the two people wearing them.

Each one is made with the hope that, over the years, it will come to carry the memories, joys, and quiet moments of the life lived within it.

It is a privilege I will never stop being grateful for.

Made as a custom gift for someone who loves shooting stars. ✨

Each star was carefully hand engraved, the fine lines cut one by one to catch the light from every angle — giving each piece a quiet flicker, like a star flashing across the night sky. A tiny diamond at the center adds one final point of light.

One of the things I love most about creating pieces like this is taking a small personal story and turning it into something lasting.

I’ve completely fallen in love with this design while making it, and I’m honestly tempted to add a version of them to my collection. What do you think — should these become a permanent piece? ✨
