About me

Hi, I'm Monica — the founder of Lua Clay Co.

Lua means "moon" in Portuguese, and I’ve always loved both the moon and the way the word sounds. When I began working with polymer clay, the name Lua Clay Co. just felt like the perfect fit—a little piece of me and what I love.

I recently got married and moved to Texas, where I found myself with extra time and a desire to create something with my hands. That’s when my journey with clay began. A big inspiration for starting my business was my sister—an incredible artist and creative entrepreneur—who gifted me my very first clay cutters for my birthday and encouraged me to give it a try. Her support (and creativity!) gave me the spark I needed.

With a lot of trial and error (and more than a few late nights), I fell in love with the process. Eventually, with encouragement from my sweet husband, I felt ready to share my creations and officially launch Lua Clay Co.

Every pair of earrings is made with care, intention, and lots of love. My hope is that when you wear them, you feel confident, joyful, and uniquely you.

Thanks so much for being here — it truly means the world. 🌙

With love,
