About Katie & Co.

The Heart Behind What We Do

Our
Mission

We believe jewelry should feel like something you love wearing, whether it holds a special meaning, helps you express your style, or simply makes you feel good. We want to make finding and creating jewelry just as enjoyable as wearing it.

Our goal is to create a space where you can treat yourself, celebrate a moment, spend time with the people you love, or find something just for you. From permanent jewelry to piercings and everything in between, we want you to feel comfortable, welcome, and special.

The Creativity
   & Connection
Katie
Co-founder | Jewelry stylist
certified piercing professional

When Katie and her mom decided to take a chance and start a business together, Katie had just begun her freshman year of high school. Since then, she’s grown right alongside the business, from learning the art of permanent jewelry and attending national conventions to becoming a certified piercing professional.

Katie loves the creative side of the business, whether that’s helping customers find the perfect piece, designing personalized combinations, or bringing new ideas to life. But her favorite part? The people. She loves that something as simple as a bracelet can bring people together and celebrate meaningful moments. Now a college student, Katie balances school and business ownership with her love for traveling, concerts, and making memories with the people she loves.

Favorite Piece: A hand chain.

Style: Dainty, delicate, and effortlessly stackable.

The Heart
  & Experience
Danielle
Co-founder | APN | NATIONAL SPEAKER
certified piercing professional

For Danielle, Katie & Co is about so much more than jewelry. As a mother, grandmother, Advanced Practice Nurse, entrepreneur, and national speaker, she has always believed in meaningful connections and making people feel valued. With more than a decade of advanced practice experience, she brings healthcare knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine compassion to everything we do.

Danielle has also become an active voice in the permanent jewelry industry, speaking at national conventions and the Unchained Permanent Jewelry Retreat about encouraging others and reminding fellow entrepreneurs of their value beyond their businesses. For her, the most rewarding part isn’t the jewelry. It’s the stories shared, the friendships formed, and the memories made along the way.

Favorite Piece: My large heart bracelet.

Style: Meaningful, bold, and full of sparkle!

The Idea
September 2022

Danielle and Katie decided to start a little business together, sharing their love for beautiful jewelry and meaningful connections.

OUR FIRST POP-UP

Infinite by Katie’s very first pop-up was at a friend’s tattoo business. We had no idea how much that little adventure would grow!

Early 2023
A little room of our own

We began welding permanent jewelry, and our customers loved it. When pop-ups weren’t enough, we moved into a small room inside a local nail salon and quickly outgrew it.

Our Commitment To You

Jewelry is a celebration of friendships, family, milestones, and the moments that make life meaningful.

We’re proud of the knowledge and craftsmanship behind what we do, but what matters most is how you feel when you walk through our doors. Because while the jewelry may be what brings you in, we hope the experience is what brings you back.
