It all started when Mars and Cosmo decided to create jewellery together on a cool spring day. . .

Mars & Cosmo was founded in May 2024 by Chase Lester and Jesslynn Friday, and they started selling their jewellery at local craft fairs.

Since then, they have been designing and imagining various little pleasures to show to the world.
