About Us
More Than Jewelry. A Journey of Healing, Joy, and Creativity.
​

Made by Maddie began with a walk along the shore—a moment of quiet, a search for something beautiful, and a need to hold onto what was still good.
After losing her sister Katelyn to cancer in January 2024, Madison Morales found peace in the rhythm of the waves and the tiny treasures they left behind. She started crafting jewelry from these ocean creations—not just to keep her hands busy, but to bring beauty into the world when it felt like everything had changed.
What began as a personal practice became a business. Today, Made by Maddie offers one-of-a-kind handmade jewelry and coastal sundries—each piece a reflection of the sea’s ability to soften, shine, and renew. Every necklace, charm, or keepsake is made with intention and care, a reminder that even simple things can be transformed into something extraordinary.
