Meet the Designer
Megan Armstrong - CEO/Founder of Ostella
"When I was a child, I loved playing dress-up. I would sift through my mother’s jewelry box, trying on necklaces that slipped past my shoulders and rings that swallowed my fingers. Each piece felt like a secret, a tiny talisman that transformed me into someone bold, someone magical, someone timeless.
Some of those treasures had stories of their own—gifts passed down from grandmothers, aunties, women whose lives I only glimpsed through the shimmer of gold and gemstones. I learned early that jewelry isn’t just decoration. It’s memory. It’s identity. It’s a quiet promise that beauty, like love, can be passed from one generation to the next.
That lesson became the heart of my work. Every piece I design is meant to last, to be worn and loved, to carry stories forward. I craft jewelry not just to sparkle today, but to endure—through celebrations, quiet moments, and the everyday magic of living. I imagine a young girl someday, opening a box of jewelry, feeling that same thrill of discovery and connection. That’s why I make jewelry: to become part of someone’s story, across time".
