Our Creator + Story

Caitlin began her jewelry journey in 2012, studying under a master jeweler in Florence, Italy. She later explored wax carving, lost wax casting, and other traditional techniques in Los Angeles, California. Over the years, her passion for sustainable herbalism, low-waste living, and Hindu philosophy began to weave into her creative practice, inspiring her to craft adornments that are mindful, sustainable, and sacred.

Caitlin’s grandmother introduced her to tea at a very young age. It became a beloved ritual — a quiet moment shared between grandmother, sisters, and stories. In 2021, her connection to tea deepened through a seven-month practice of sitting in ceremony with a group of women, six days a week — a time of learning to experience tea in an energetic way. Some years later, she volunteered on a tea farm and began to study the more scientific are care-taking aspects of the plant. Soon, her minimalist nature was overtaken by a growing collection of teaware and a desire to create her own precious clay vessels.

An avid wanderer and wonderer, Caitlin feels most at home on the road and in nature. It is within these landscapes that she finds freedom, inspiration, and space for transformation. Her jewelry and clay designs often draw from these quiet hermitages and the wisdom gathered along the way.

Name Origin:

After years of patiently calling in the perfect name for her creations, "Prini" came to Caitlin in a dream. Curious about its meaning, she discovered that "Prini" is a Hindu name that translates to "Goddess of Flowers."

With her deep love for herbalism, Hinduism, and the natural world, the name felt kismet. Later, during a meditative tea ceremony, "Earth of PRINI" was revealed to Caitlin, completing the vision.
