A Two-Woman Studio
Olive & Hazel is a two-woman private studio in Metro Detroit, founded from a shared passion for intentional design and craftsmanship.
Specializing in custom and heirloom redesign, we work together to design and make every piece ourselves. By blending our technical expertise with a deep reverence for the past, we create modern jewelry from sustainable and storied materials. From our hands to yours, every piece is intended to tell your story and be worn for a lifetime.
The Inspiration Behind Our Designs
We find beauty in the unexpected, often pairing stone shapes and colors in ways that feel natural even when they are uncommon. Each piece is carefully composed to create a sense of balance and flow, with designs meant to be lived in, layered, and worn every day.
Inspired by natural forms and timeless design, our jewelry is crafted with care using ethical and sustainable materials. We believe the best pieces are the ones you never want to take off.
From Co-Workers to Co-Founders
Hi, we’re Natasha and Heather. Before founding Olive & Hazel, we spent years working alongside one another in fine jewelry.
Natasha’s background is rooted in the technical artistry of metalsmithing and stone setting, paired with deep expertise in gemstone sourcing and vendor relations. Heather’s expertise lies in the creative and operational side, from jewelry design and production to cultivating meaningful customer relationships.
We spent years dreaming of a brand that wasn't just made by us, but was truly from us. For a long time, we wondered if we were "ready”. Until the fear of regret finally outweighed the fear of the unknown.
Today, Olive & Hazel is the culmination of our friendship, our love for making, and shared belief that every piece of jewelry carries a story worth telling.
Natasha Bittner
CO-FOUNDER & JEWELER
“Jewelry has always felt meaningful to me, not just as something beautiful, but as something connected to memories, milestones, and the people we love. So many of the pieces we wear every day carry a story, and being trusted to create something that will become part of someone’s life is incredibly special to me.”
Heather Sinacori
CO-FOUNDER & DESIGNER
“For me, being creative has always been about learning and exploring a process. I chose jewelry because I truly think it’s an industry of unlimited knowledge and something I can never know enough about. What I love about designing jewelry for others is sharing with them the process of creating. I get to tell my story, while they get to wear theirs.”
Our Studio
We operate as a private design studio, focusing on intentional, one-on-one experiences. Whether meeting in person throughout Metro Detroit or consulting virtually, we provide a dedicated space for your story to take shape.
The Meaning Behind Our Name
Our name was chosen to reflect the idea of two: two words, two animals, the two of us.
Olive green has always been a shared favorite, and our work is often influenced by nature. Hazel felt like a natural complement to olive and also holds personal meaning as Natasha’s daughter’s name.
Olive & Hazel represents balance, strength, and intention. Our mark features a leopard and a wolf facing one another with olive and hazel branches between them, symbolizing growth, structure, and intention. These are the principles that guide our work.
