Our Story
Xinar began over 20 years ago at a humble flea market table, built on one man's love for handcrafted jewelry. Today, we carry that same passion forward in his memory.
How It All Began
More than 20 years ago, Don set up a small table at a local flea market with a collection of sterling silver charms and handcrafted jewelry supplies. What started as a weekend hobby quickly became a calling. Customers were drawn to the quality of his pieces and the warmth of his personality. Don had a way of making everyone feel like family.
Over a decade ago, Don brought Xinar to Etsy, sharing his carefully curated collection with jewelry makers across the country. He poured his heart into every listing, every package, and every customer interaction. He jokingly called himself "Santa Claus" — and in many ways, he was. The joy he felt putting together orders and knowing his pieces would become part of someone's creative vision was what kept him going, day after day.
Don passed away in June 2024, leaving behind a business that was so much more than a business — it was a reflection of who he was. His passion, his attention to detail, and his genuine care for his customers are woven into every piece in our collection.
Continuing His Legacy
Since Don's passing, Chris and Litzy have stepped in to carry Xinar forward. We are committed to honoring his legacy by maintaining the same standard of quality, the same personal touch, and the same love for the craft that Don built this business on.
Every order that goes out the door, every new piece we add to the collection, and every customer we serve is done with Don in mind. Xinar isn't just a store — it's his life's work, and we're proud to keep it alive.
