Olive Branches was founded by Olivia Moye during a pivotal moment in her life, when she found herself struggling to find purpose and meaning. Despite her aspirations to start a business, she had long felt overwhelmed by the business of life, which led her to postpone her dreams time and again.

Everything changed when Olivia experienced a serious concussion, forcing her to confront her mental and emotional state. As she fell into a deep depression, life demanded she pause and reflect. During this challenging period, she discovered solace in creating jewelry. What began as a therapeutic outlet, giving gifts to her friends which always had brought her so much joy.

Olivia enjoyed the delicate artistry of working with pearls and gold, marveling at how they beautifully complemented each other. This creative process brought her a sense of excitement and joy, igniting a spark that had long been dimmed.

From this newfound inspiration, the idea of Olive Branches was born. She recognized that this was her moment to take the leap and pursue her dreams. The first piece she crafted was a cross necklace, symbolizing her personal journey. Pearls are created from small impurities within the oyster, transforming over time into something exquisite. This mirrored her own life—during a time when she felt profoundly imperfect, the necklace served as a reminder that God is at work, encouraging her to relinquish the need to control everything and trust in a greater plan.

Thus, Olive Branches became not just a business, but a beacon of hope and encouragement for others facing their own struggles.
