The Small-Batch Gemstone Designer We Can’t Stop Wearing

Part of building Luvons has been connecting with other small business owners who approach their craft the same way we do — with intention, care, and a real eye for design. Amber Collins is one of those people.

She’s the founder of Cabine Monde, a California-based jewelry studio creating small-batch gemstone pieces that feel elevated yet completely wearable. The kind of jewelry you reach for without thinking, and somehow feel more like yourself when you do.

Amber’s story doesn’t start in a studio. She grew up on an Indian Reservation in South Dakota, where natural elements and simplicity shaped her early sense of beauty. Jewelry wasn’t about excess. It was about meaning.

At 15, she moved to California to model, eventually living and working in Paris. Those years shaped more than her career. They shaped how she understood style.

What she noticed wasn’t trend cycles or statement pieces. It was how women in France, Italy, and Spain carried themselves. They chose fewer things. They wore them well. And they moved through their day with a quiet confidence that felt completely natural.

(Sound familiar? It’s a philosophy we share at Luvons — fewer, better things, worn well.)

That philosophy stayed with her long after she left Europe.

After years as a model, then a scout and agent, Amber realized something was missing. She wanted to create something of her own. Something tactile. Personal. Expressive.

In 2016, she launched Cabine Monde from her Sacramento studio.

What started as a creative outlet quickly became something more: a collection of pieces designed to help women feel polished and at ease — in their real lives, on their real days.

Today, each Cabine Monde piece is handcrafted using 14k gold fill, sterling silver, and carefully hand-selected gemstones. The collection is built around Everyday Essentials — timeless pieces you return to again and again — alongside limited small-batch gemstone releases that make each drop feel special.

I especially love her Herkimer Diamond Earrings. Light, luminous, and impossibly easy. The kind of earrings that work with denim and a tee, a workday look, or dinner out. You put them on and feel instantly put-together.

Amber’s work reflects the values we care about at Luvons: thoughtful design, beautiful materials, and a commitment to pieces meant to be worn often. Because getting dressed — from your feet to your jewelry — should feel like the most natural thing in the room.

To celebrate our collaboration, Amber is offering 15% off with code LOVE15 for a limited time.

If you haven’t discovered Cabine Monde yet, this is a lovely place to start.

Because the best pieces — whether jewelry or slippers — are the ones that become part of your everyday life.
