Darci Cohen

My name is Darci Cohen. By day I work as a school-based occupational therapist, and in my evenings and weekends I create custom jewelry pieces and fit clients with unique permanent chains. I started Sunny Mae Permanent Jewelry because I have a desire to help people shine. The name is inspired by two people who bring so much light into my life. My grandmother, Sunny, was exactly what her name portrayed—warm, bright, and full of joy. And my daughter, Sawyer Mae, takes after her and shines like a bright light every single day.

Seeing people light up when they see their finished bracelet, anklet, or necklace is my favorite part of the process. Recently, I’ve started adding handmade earrings to the mix and have fallen in love with wire wrapping and experimenting with new designs. I hope to provide you with the joy and excitement I have every time I weld a bracelet or create a set of earrings.
