Did you know that Sarah purchased her first set of bench tools, wire, and block back in 2005, when she was still living in Oregon? She wanted to create her own pair of earrings after falling head over heels in love with a strand of labradorite gemstones! Needless to say, her part-time passion rippled into an entire business that continues to evolve and grow, making her the architect of Token Jewelry! From designing each and every piece, to sitting in on marketing meetings, and helping the Jewelry Stylists decide how to best display each piece, Sarah is continuously involved in her business. We could not have asked for a more supportive, creative, and stronger leader! Outside of Token, Sarah is a mother to three boys (yes, she has been to a Pokémon Club meeting) and fur mama (if you get the chance, make sure she tells you the story about how she had to fly her cat named Kitty across the country!)

RJ has been part of Token from its earliest days at art crawls and little pop up events. Flashforward 25 years, and she is now General Manager of the entire crew! Her ability to connect with each employee is truly a treasure that we all cherish. Outside of Token, RJ is typically spotted all the way up on Lake Superior—her happy place! From skiing Spirit Mountain with her three kids to walking its rocky coastlines, RJ is all in on the turquoise waters that Lake Superior provides (we should have suspected this though since her favorite Token piece is the Turquoise Nomad Ring!) When she’s in Eau Claire, she loves to swing by the farmers market for fresh flowers, a loaf of bread, and veggies, while wearing her Juno Earrings which give off all the happy summertime vibes.

Have you ever emailed us with a question? It was probably Alicia who wrote you back! She is known around Token as a gemstone ring stacking queen and loves a good statement earring. When she’s not fulfilling orders and dishing out stellar customer service experiences, she is at home cooking for her three kids and hanging out with her fur babies. Her favorite dish to cook is making one-of-a-kind creations, using left-overs and other ingredients. Don't ask for a recipe because she'll never be able to recreate the same dish! Her secret ingredient to everything, you ask? Rotisserie chicken! Her biggest flex is that she could teach a class on getting at least three meals out of one chicken. Anyone else think Alicia should make a reel featuring her iconic ring stacks and rotisserie chicken recipes?!

Before we say literally anything else, let's chat about Stacy’s homemade donuts - she used to own her own donut shop in Evergreen, CO called Sconnie’s! Her best sellers were Lemon Blueberry and Apple Cider cake donuts! Now back to business, Stacy is our ultimate buyer! She makes sure we are stocked on all the supplies we need to make your favorite pieces! While she is placing our orders and taking inventory, she is always plugged into the latest podcast episode of Dateline or 48 Hours - listening to true crime makes her focus, should we be scared?! By day Stacy drinks iced blondies from 7 Brew and by night she enjoys the bloody marys from Wigwam, specifically with extra pickle juice! Her favorite snack is anything that can be dipped in, drizzled under, or spread with nacho cheese!!! Chips, pretzels, slathered on sandwiches, drizzled over a cheeseburger, or even to go with scrambled eggs! If nacho cheese can be added on, she is using it!!!

Ella is most in her element at Token when she is fulfilling orders and sipping a latte from ECDC! When she walks into the studio and sees the plates stacked high, she knows she’s gonna have a good day. As our very own model, you can catch Ella doing shoots with our Marketing Team all around town to showcase our latest pieces. Her favorite Token pieces to style, though, are anything with a pearl. Did someone hint that a stack of the Endless Pearl Necklace and Rosalie Pearl Choker would look stunning together?! Ella’s hidden talent is that she has been playing guitar since she was 9, which perfectly checks out since her favorite band is Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Fulfilling online and in store orders is what Megan does best here at Token! Completing orders with the welcoming and helpful Production Team is her favorite part of working at Token! When she is all done stacking and packing your orders she is studying for her next exam at UW - Eau Claire for her Communications majors, having pizza at Informalist, reading, or shopping! Her favorite books are mystery and thriller, especially if they are written by Freida McFadden. That effortless style she has is brought to you by Aritzia, Amazon, or Abercrombie and Fitch. She loves finding a classic top that can go with anything and match any vibe - if it can compliment her Token favorites, the Organic Hoops and Trinity Ring, then it is that much better!!!

Lexi is a marketing queen and collector of all Token items that use the Alexandra Chain! The stunning pictures you see scattered across our Instagram grid? Lexi probably took those! She loves being creative with the Marketing Team and getting the chance to see their ideas come to life. When she isn’t arranging the latest email thread, she can be found scrolling Facebook Marketplace for the best thrifts, teaching horseback riding lessons, or eating fruit…yeah, you read that right! There is even a method to her fruit eating habit. If she has time to peel and dice, she goes for a mango. But if she's in a rush, she grabs blueberries! Where does she get all of this fresh fruit? Her favorite local spot, Menomonie Market!

Hannah is our very own Graphic Designer! She loves working at Token because it is constantly changing and growing, which allows her to be creative every minute of the day. Her favorite Token pieces to wear are the Pearl Petals Bracelet or Personalized Cigar Band (she has a cute little “G” on hers for her husband!) Hannah’s guilty pleasures are reading mystery novels by Agatha Christie, treating herself to ramen and boba from Madden, and sipping on a decaf iced oatmilk miel from Shift!

Halle can handle all things marketing here at Token (I mean, have you seen the vibes this girl dishes out on our TikTok?!) Wanna know Halle’s nickname here? It’s “Bob the Builder” because she can ALWAYS fix it! Vacuum on the fritz? Halle’s on it! Gotta move the bench outside for a sidewalk pop up? Someone call Halle! This cutie can be spotted out at Whirlybird Coffee Co. drinking up anything caramel flavored, shopping for the latest squeaky toy with her dog Bruce, or relaxing in the sunshine while rocking her iconic slick back bun and Canyon Ring from Token.

From studying sculpture to being a jewelry maker here at Token, Molly has always been passionate about working in a creative space. It makes sense that the motto she lives by is “my heart demands it.” Her heart clearly demands she continue to make her favorite Form Studs and Personalized Cigar Band here at Token! When she’s not busy being a Maker and design coordinator here, she can always be spotted around town supporting as many local restaurants as possible. Should we convince Molly to make a TikTok of her creating some of her favorite Token pieces while chatting about her favorite foodie spots?! 

Kenzie is not just a lead maker here at Token, she is also the mom of our honorary employee Louie (he is the tiny dachshund who works upstairs with the rest of the Makers!) He puts in long days supervising while Kenzie is hammering, soldering, stamping, and polishing all of your favorite Token pieces! Does this make Louie the Quality Assurance Manager? Back to the real star here. Kenzie’s current favorite Token pieces? She loves making any gemstone ring and wearing the Ripple Ring. The creativity doesn’t stop at Token for Kenzie though. She has her own studio at home where she continues to design and create for her own shop, Eclectic Sol!

An art teacher by day and jewelry maker by night (…well anytime after 4:00pm!) Kelly loves to shape, hammer, polish, and thread our timeless Crescent Moon Necklace when she is up in our maker's studio. She recently discovered that wearing our Bent Slides backwards is actually a super fun and funky styling to a classic Token piece—especially if she is wearing her hair up and jamming out at her favorite band's concert: Highly Suspect. When Kelly is at home, she loves to cook and eat any Thai food! If it’s spicy or topped with olives, that makes any dish even more scrumptious!

Kris is our go-to gal if we need a laugh! Her lively smile never fails to brighten each of our days! Kris loves to make our iconic Petal Slides when she is upstairs in our studio! Her favorite part about being a maker here is that she is constantly learning new skills as pieces are always getting added to our collections! At home, she has her own stained glass workshop where she designs and forges her favorite stained glass creations - 3D stars! She likes to hang them in the windows to light up the room with vibrant color. When she isn’t busy creating, Kris enjoys snacking on 70% dark chocolate, eating green curry from Thai Orchid, sipping chai tea lattes from Kahvi, and thrifting.

Tara puts her heart and soul into every piece of Token jewelry she makes. This absolutely checks out since her favorite pieces to wear are anything that has a heart! As a matter of fact, her favorite aspect about working as a Maker at Token is that everyone here puts their heart into designing, making, marketing, displaying, and packaging our jewelry. Did your heart melt reading that, because ours sure did!! 

This cutie loves wire wrapping so if you own our Stormi Necklace or Emma Pearl Studs, Annie probably made it! Her favorite part about working at Token is accomplishing a new piece of jewelry and learning new skills. Annie loves to thrift, read, and cheer on the Minnesota Wild hockey all while wearing our Marina Chain Studs (her favorite Token piece!) Her hot take you ask?! Pickles are the most superior snack! Any kind, anytime, and anywhere. When she isn’t snacking on pickles and wire wrapping necklaces, Annie spends her time reading and watching movies with her dog named Fluffy as well as making her favorite potato and leek soup!

Do you have our Isla or Sundari Rings? Gabz probably made them if you do! Gabz is passionate about conservation, especially locally. Her favorite cause to support is Wisconsin Land + Water Conservation for their commitment to environmental protection, while valuing the economic impact of agricultural endeavors. When she isn’t creating Organic Hoops or setting gemstones into studs, she enjoys singing, playing the ukulele, as well as frequenting Tangled Up in Hue and Raggedy Man!

Hanna can make her own coffee syrup! Is that not the coolest thing ever?! Her recipe is dried lavender, honey, and water - so simple, full of flavor, and such a fun hobby!! As a maker here at Token, Hanna loves to make the Flynn Toggle Necklace and the Petite Pearl Hoops but her favorite pieces to wear are the Ebb + Flow Slides and Trinity Ring! When she isn’t cooking up her famous coffee syrup or at Token, she can be spotted at The Livery munching on their Mediterranean Salad (add the salmon on, please!), sipping on a matcha lemonade from ECDC, or thrifting for vintage Christmas nutcrackers to add to her collection!

If you have been in our storefront or at one of our pop up events, you have probably seen this blondie! Avery is always on the go when she’s on the store floor. You can routinely find her organizing displays, wrangling the Jewelry Stylists, or coordinating all things pop up event related! Avery recently moved to Eau Claire after graduating from Madison Area Technical College and has the cutest roommate ever: her orange kitten named Nugget! Keeping on brand of always being on the go, Avery coaches girls volleyball in her free time, all while rocking her favorite Token pieces: our Olivia Ring and Alex Chain Studs.

Wondering who wrote these—and maybe a couple other things on this website? Suprise, it’s Andrea! On the computer, she’s a writing wiz for Token. On the store floor, she is a window display styling queen. When she isn’t styling your latest necklace stack, she is styling hair. Yup, Andrea is also a hairstylist here in Eau Claire! She’s a worker bee, that’s for sure! When she’s not working, you can find her shopping (she is certifiably obsessed with Free People), running on the treadmill, or obsessing over pets. As a fan of all the chunky gold jewelry, her favorite pieces to wear (and write about) are the Alexandra Chain, Buckle Ring, and Leopard Skin Jasper Arches.

Kaylie is known for creating the absolute cutest Charm Bar creations around Token! See a cute display at our Charm Bar - yeah, Kaylie probably made it! When Kaylie isn’t styling jewelry at Token, you can find her studying Psychology at UW-Eau Claire while sipping on a Raspberry Rose Poppi, taking the latest class at Eaum Yoga, or jumping on a plane to travel the world! Her favorite country so far is Italy because of its scrumptious cuisine (cup of gelato for one please…make that two cups actually) and friendly atmosphere. Her favorite Token pieces are the Alexandra Toggle, La Mer Bracelet, and Olivia Ring!

Devon is known for her seasonal Charm Bar creations! Using our iconic Classic Hoop she rotates her charms out to represent what she loves most about each season. So far she has the Petite Strawberries and Halloween Ghosts! Her all time Token favorite though is the Rosalie set! Those pink pearls are just the pop of color needed to brighten up any look! When she is not on the sales floor styling, you can find her coaching strength classes at Eaum Yoga, munching on orange chicken from Thai Orchid, or listening to the latest podcast episode Crime Junkie with her kitty, Ming Ming!

If you spot someone walking around our store while wearing the Olivia Ring, Ripple Ring, and Alexandra Chain, then you probably saw Kambrie! Kambrie is a Marketing major at UW - Eau Claire and she is an Eau Claire local! Being born and raised here, her favorite Eau Claire spot to support is the Farmers Market! Her recommended Farmers Market grab? A bouquet of wildflowers! When she has late nights studying she always has a box of Wheat Thins and colby jack cheese as well as an iced vanilla latte from Starbucks (unless their fall flavors are out in which case, she will add on pumpkin cold foam and cinnamon please!)
