Hi, I’m Trish Houghtling, the maker behind Crafted by Citrus. I recently took over this amazing brand from our founder Karen Lamont, and it’s been a joy to continue its tradition of creating meaningful, handcrafted jewelry that celebrates life’s most precious moments. After years of working in tech sales, I took a leap to follow my passion for design and creativity, and I couldn’t be happier with this new chapter of my journey.
Every piece of jewelry from Crafted by Citrus is made with love and care in my home studio in Toronto, Canada. Using high-quality materials like sterling silver, gold, and rose gold, I handcraft each piece to ensure it’s not just beautiful but also durable and timeless. Whether I’m stamping a personalized pendant, stringing gemstones for a bracelet, or finishing a silk wrap, my goal is always to create something meaningful—jewelry that feels like it was made just for you.
As a home-based business, we’re proud to offer what we call “affordable luxury.” Without the overhead of a traditional storefront, we can pass significant savings directly to our customers. This means you’ll find jewelry that’s thoughtfully designed, made with premium materials, and priced to be accessible. We believe that everyone deserves to own meaningful, well-crafted jewelry without having to compromise on quality or stretch their budget.
For me, it’s not just about making jewelry; it’s about creating connections. I love hearing the stories behind the pieces—whether it’s a necklace celebrating a milestone birthday or a bracelet symbolizing a cherished bond. Knowing that our designs play a small part in marking life’s special moments is what makes this work so fulfilling.
Thank you for letting Crafted by Citrus be part of your journey. It’s an honour to create jewelry that helps you tell your story.
With gratitude,
Trish
