Origin Story

Hi! My name is Cat Hutchings. Owner and creator of WonderLight Jewelry. The company's journey began back in 2010 when on a whim, I decided to take an entrepreneurship class at college. I was just 23 years old. Ironically, the idea of actually starting my own business had never crossed my mind. I had just married the love of my life who happened to be a business major and I thought if he decided to ever start his own business, it would be nice to have some basic business knowledge. It's almost ironic now to look back at all the self-doubts I had as a woman that I never even realized were there. 

After coming up with a business plan for one of the assignments, I discovered a passion for creating unique handcrafted jewelry pieces that spoke to women in all facets of life that invoked joy and celebrated individualism and diversity. Slowly, that passion turned into a business, and that business has grown into a fire, fueled by empowering women and a love for the entrepreneurial spirit in all of us. Running my own business has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I love to share that gift and encouragement with other women.

Today, our mission is to create intentional reminders to help you feel more energized, empowered and enough. WonderLight Jewelry is different from other jewelry brands by attaching meaning and purpose to every piece we design. Whether that’s through natural gemstones with specific attributes attached to each stone, or symbolic representations given to every piece. We offer a gorgeous selection of unique designs to create a powerful brand that encourages you to push towards your ultimate goals and the vision you have of living your most fulfilled life. WonderLight is more than just a pretty accessory, it’s a community committed to personal growth and empowerment.
