I had just started making these earrings when she spotted the matching cuff. 👀

She bought the cuff and asked if I could finish the earrings to match—so I did. 🤎

It was one of those spontaneous little market moments that made my day. I had the time, she had the vision, and somehow the timing worked out perfectly.

These are the moments I love about selling in person. You get to see the pieces come together, have a conversation, and sometimes leave with something that didn’t even exist when you walked up to the table.

Would you have gotten the matching set? ✨

The pieces look good on the table… but THIS is why we make them. 🤎

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve had the absolute joy of seeing USHA.NGA pieces leave our booth and become part of your everyday style, special occasions, gifts, outfits, and stories.

Every purchase, every compliment, every “I’ve been looking for something like this,” every friend you’ve brought to our booth, every tag and share — we see it, and we’re grateful.

USHA.NGA is about creating pieces that feel bold, grounded, sculptural, ancestral and completely your own. And there’s nothing better than seeing how YOU make them yours.

So this weekend, come find your next piece. 👀
📍 Tower Grove Farmers Market
🗓️ Saturday
⏰ 8AM–12:30PM

Come say hi, try something on, find an old favorite or discover something new.

What an amazing weekend at Frizzfest! 🌻
We loved meeting so many new people, reconnecting with some of our faves, and seeing so much beautiful Black joy in all its forms.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, shared a conversation, supported USHA.NGA, and took a piece home with you. Your support means so much to us. 🖤
We can’t wait to come back next year and do it even bigger and better!
Year 2 at Frizzfest ✨🌻

This started as a sheet of aluminum. 👀
Cutting, shaping, hammering, sanding… and a little patience later, it became a pair of Usha.nga earrings.

I love taking an ordinary material and turning it into something bold, wearable, and completely its own. And if you’ve been shopping with us lately, you already know I’ve been busy keeping up with all your favorites. 🤎

And guess what? We’re having a DOUBLE MARKET WEEKEND! ✨

🌿 Tower Grove Farmers’ Market — Harvest Festival

Saturday | 8:00 AM–12:30 PM
📍 Our usual spot behind the playground

⚡ Electric Movement Festival

Saturday | 8:00 AM–6:30 PM
📍 Francis Park, directly across from St. Gabriel Church
6303 Nottingham Ave, St. Louis, MO 63109

We’ll have new pieces, statement earrings, everyday favorites, and plenty of jewelry to try on.

Which market are we seeing you at? 👀

Come find your next piece, say hello, and see what I’ve been making at the workbench.

You’ve been keeping us BUSY. 🤎✨

To everyone who stopped by our booth this weekend—our new customers, our returning customers, and everyone who came by to say hello, try something on, or add another Usha.nga piece to their collection: thank you.

Your support doesn’t just make our market days special—it keeps us at the workbench throughout the week, dreaming up new designs, restocking your favorites, and making more of what you’ve been loving.

We’re so grateful for every purchase, conversation, compliment, and connection. You’re giving us plenty of reasons to keep creating. 🤎

Missed us this weekend? Come find us next Saturday at Tower Grove Farmers’ Market from 8:00 AM–12:30 PM, in our usual spot behind the playground.

And if you can’t wait until Saturday… you can always shop Usha.nga online. 👀✨

A little peek at what’s coming to the market this Saturday… 👀✨

I’ve been busy at the workbench this week making new pieces, restocking favorites, and getting everything ready for you.

There’s a little bit of everything—bold statement pieces, everyday jewelry, and those special pieces that somehow end up being the ones you can’t stop thinking about. 🤎
And yes, everything you see here will be coming with me to the Tower Grove Farmers’ Market this Saturday.

📍 Tower Grove Farmers’ Market
🕗 8:00 AM–12:30 PM
📍 Find us in our usual spot behind the playground

Come see everything in person, try things on, and find the piece that feels like it belongs in your collection.
Which one caught your eye first? 👀
