ABOUT MISHAKAUDI

                                     

 THE STORY OF MISHAKAUDI

Jewelry with meaning. Created with intention. Made to become part of your story.

Mishakaudi Jewelry was founded by artist and designer Marissa Lewis in 2010, born from a lifelong love of creating, a family history of jewelry making, and a fascination with the meaning we give to the objects we choose to wear.

From the beginning, Mishakaudi has been about more than adornment.

Inspired by ancient symbols, sacred forms, natural stones, mythology, spirituality, and the cycles of transformation we experience throughout our lives, each piece is created or chosen for both its beauty and what it represents.

A serpent can remind us to shed an old version of ourselves. A stone can represent protection or intuition. A symbol worn close to the heart can become a reminder of love, courage, abundance, or the direction we have chosen for our lives.

These pieces become personal talismans—physical reminders of what matters to us and what we are ready to call forward.

WEAR YOUR INTENTION

At the heart of Mishakaudi is a simple belief:  What we wear can carry meaning.

Jewelry can mark a transformation, hold an intention, honor a relationship, remind us of our strength, or simply reconnect us with something within ourselves that we don't want to forget.

That philosophy has become Wear Your Intention: an invitation to choose jewelry not only because you love how it looks, but because something about it speaks to you.

Whether you are seeking protection, transformation, love, abundance, intuition, or personal power, Mishakaudi invites you to choose the symbols that resonate with your life and make their meaning your own.

Wear your symbols. Carry your intention. Create your own magic.

MEET THE MAKER

Mishakaudi is the creative expression of artist and designer Marissa Lewis.

What began as creative jewelry making grew into an infusion of symbolism, spirituality, the energetic resonance of natural stones, ancient imagery, and the ways meaningful objects become woven into our personal stories.

Marissa's designs blend an earthy, bohemian sensibility with modern forms and symbolic details—pieces meant to feel collected, layered, lived in, and uniquely personal.

Mishakaudi remains rooted in the Pacific Northwest, where Marissa creates and curates the collection from Spokane, Washington. 

The brand is also committed to creating without animal-derived decorative materials and does not use leather or feathers in its designs.

WHERE DID THE NAME MISHAKAUDI COME FROM?

Jewelry has always been personal. So is the name.

Long before there was a jewelry brand, there was Mishakaudi.

When Marissa was a small child learning to speak, her mother would ask her to say her full name. Her childhood interpretation of Marissa Kelly McAndrew came out as:

“Misha Kaudi Canoe.”

Her mom began calling her Mishakaudi, which evolved into Misha or Mish with her close friends and family... and the name followed her throughout her life.

Years later, when it came time to name the creative world she was building, nothing felt more fitting.

A name unintentionally created by a child, before rules, expectations, and limitations begin telling us who we're supposed to become. It became the name of a brand centered around creativity, possibility, transformation, and choosing meaning for ourselves.

Mishakaudi was imagined before it was ever created.
