I've been on Etsy since near its beginning. My first shop opened under the username "laurenrose." I was one of the first wholesalers to sell vintage sourced jewelry supplies and was part of the movement to bring both a supplies and vintage section to Etsy. "Laurenrosedesign" opened a few month's later as this shop's extension to sell my hand crafted vintage inspired jewelry (which at the time was only being sold locally and due to time constraints, is still only being sold locally today).

Ageless Heirlooms sprung from the roots of Lauren Rose Design. Haphazardly and with a leap of faith, the antique jewelry business began to grow as I embraced and kept expanding upon the opportunities I'd been given. I never knew how much perseverance and patience I had until I committed myself to owning my own business (it's a lot). However, despite all the challenges, Ageless Heirlooms has afforded me an indescribable level of independence and happiness I'd now be lost without. I've been blessed with an incredibly supportive family that instead of saying like the rest of the world "when are you going to get a real job" says "what can I do to help?"

The rest is history: trial and error, learning, a lot of sacrifice and a lot of passion.
