Our Story
About lonely sinn
lonely sinn is a purpose-driven jewelry brand founded at the intersection of self-expression, mindfulness, and intentional design. We create signature pendant pieces that serve as more than adornment — each one is a wearable reminder to stay grounded in your identity, honor your individuality, and move through the world with intention.
Our Founding
lonely sinn was founded by Syesha Thomas, a Washington State-licensed attorney, former Division I collegiate athlete, and serial entrepreneur with a background spanning law, technology, and business development. Drawing on her experience as a former starter for the Oregon State University Beavers women's basketball program, Syesha built Lonely Sinn on the same principles that defined her time on the court: authenticity, community, and the courage to show up fully as yourself.
The brand was born from a deeply personal insight. During a period of significant personal and professional transition, Syesha turned to a worry stone — a grounding tool she carried to manage anxiety and maintain her sense of self amid external pressure. That experience became the creative and philosophical foundation for Lonely Sinn. Every pendant in our collection is designed to replicate that grounding effect, offering the wearer a tangible connection to their own truth.
Our Mission
lonely sinn exists to celebrate individuality and foster a sense of belonging. We believe that self-expression is not a luxury — it is a necessity. Our pieces are crafted for those who refuse to be defined by a single narrative and who understand that staying true to yourself is an act of strength.
Our Craft
Each lonely sinn piece is produced through a deliberate, hands-on process. Our founder personally curates a diverse and highly skilled network of artisans, ensuring that every signature piece reflects the brand's commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and intentionality. We source materials responsibly and hold our supply chain to the same ethical standards we apply to every aspect of our business.
Leadership
Syesha Thomas brings a multidisciplinary perspective to lonely sinn that is rare in the jewelry industry. In addition to leading the brand, she maintains an active legal practice focused on Trademark, Copyright, and Licensing Law — with a specific commitment to protecting the intellectual property rights of people of color and the LGBTQIA+ communities. Her legal expertise, entrepreneurial acumen, and deep personal investment in the brand's mission position Lonely Sinn for sustainable, values-aligned growth.
Our Community
Community has been central to lonely sinn from the beginning. Inspired by the family culture Syesha experienced at Oregon State and the advocacy work she has carried throughout her career, the brand is built to be inclusive, affirming, and representative of the full spectrum of human experience. We welcome everyone who believes that who you are is worth celebrating.
We are proud of what we have built — and we are just getting started.
