My Story

My Story

Behind Savvy Rhodes Jewelry is a story that might feel familiar to many. My name is Danica Joa & as a wife of nearly 10 years and mother to three beautiful children, I found myself living what looked like the perfect life on paper. Yet beneath the surface, I was experiencing something many women know all too well – the quiet loneliness of losing yourself in motherhood, navigating the rhythms of my husband's work schedule, and yearning for meaningful connection beyond my daily routine.

It was in these moments of feeling unseen that I discovered the therapeutic power of creation. What began with handmade polymer clay earrings evolved into something far more meaningful: a brand that speaks to the heart of what women need most – connection, recognition, and solidarity.

Our signature message, "She is, you are," was born from this deeply personal place. It's an acknowledgment that if I felt this way, surely other women did too. It's a reminder that we're not alone in our experiences, our struggles, or our victories.

Today, Savvy Rhodes Jewelry has blossomed into a celebration of women's connections. From our original polymer clay pieces to our expanded collections of gold-plated and handcrafted gold-filled jewelry, each piece is created with intention and understanding. Every design serves as a thread in the tapestry of women lifting each other up, whether it's a gift to a friend who inspired you or a personal reminder of your own strength and worth.

We believe jewelry is more than an accessory – it's a tangible reminder of the connections we share and the community we build together. What started as a way to fill a personal void has grown into a mission to ensure every woman feels seen, understood, and connected.

Because in the end, her story is your story. She is, you are.
