For artist and founder Christy Lucius, it all started with a vision: to travel and to create. There truly is nothing as inspiring as getting out of your comfort zone and going on an adventure. Christy and her husband Kevin have been all over the world together, filling countless sketchbooks along the way. Willow + Wanderlust was created from those pages, each piece from various collections is like an artifact from those travels.

Willow + Wanderlust is a fine jewelry brand specializing in heirloom quality gemstone jewelry. Each stone is artfully curated to make gorgeous, one of a kind designs. Christy has been working with metal for over 20 years, and that experience and attention to detail is reflected in each piece.

Christy creates all of her works in her Chicago, IL studio. She lives in Naperville with her husband Kevin, her son Elliot, and her fluffy orange cat Tango.
