About Us
the oneOAKmarket story
Consider the artistry that our earth has to offer. Whether it is a gemstone pulled from the depths or a cross section from a fallen tree, each has a story to tell. We are the sum of the seasons we have lived through. Budding love in spring, the joy and energy of summer, melancholy autumns, harsh lonely winters; but over the years, and formed by pressure, we are made into who we are. The one thing oneOAKmarket products bring forward is the consistency of change. Nature stands in silent witness to life’s highs and lows as we grow. Each persons story is unique and their soul one of a kind; as are the rocks and trees that surround them during their lifetime. What story would the nature surrounding you tell? From birth to death, what have they witnessed? This might sound like some inspirational "bullsh!t" but this is far from a happily ever after. Our story like many others, is one that tested our resolve. From battles with addiction to battles with cancer, some were won and some were lost, and some are still to come. But, we persevere none the less. We create, we love, we fail, we change.
MEET KAITLIN
Strong, curious, ambitious.
I live in Asheville, NC with my husband and 2 daughters. Born in Virginia Beach, VA I moved to the west coast to begin my career in e-commerce. I worked in buying for everything from swimwear, to home décor, to women’s clothing. After struggles and tragedies in my family I decided to leave corporate e-commerce and move to Bend, OR. There, in a smaller town with a slower way of life, I found my room to breathe and found my gratitude.
I started oneOAKmarket when
I thought “________ is going to make me happy.”
Find your happy and follow that dream.
SHOP SMALL BUSINESS
When you buy from a maker, you’re buying more than just the piece or service they sell. You are buying all their failures and all their successes. You are buying their frustration and moments of pure joy. You are buying a handcrafted piece of their heart. Love and dedication is poured into each piece that we create. Your business as a consumer is powerful. Supporting small businesses gives you the power to feel emotionally connected to another human being. And in turn we are able to ethically source all our materials to ensure quality of product and quality of life for those mining these precious stones. Not only in our jewelry; all our tree ring prints are made using trees previously felled or cleared. Not one tree was cut down for the purpose of creating these prints.
You are appreciated.
