I love to create and I love color. Jewelry design allows me the freedom to combine these two loves. My jewelry is intricate and detailed but also bold in design and color. I like things that are contradictory, like an earring that is feminine and delicate but also a bit edgy.
What Kind Of Materials Are You Using?
I use wire, a lot of it. And I choose stones that are rich in color but small in size.
What Got You Started Jewelry Crafting?
I started making jewelry purely as a creative endeavor and found I had a desire to learn how to create what my imagination presented me. I am always trying new ideas, which really keeps it exciting for me.
How and/or Where Do You Sell Your Jewelry?
I sell on Etsy and boutiques in my neighborhood. And by appointment with customers.
What Is Your Source of Inspiration?
Color! I love working with color so almost anything can be an inspiration. A beautiful scarf, paintings, nature and even music. Designing has a way of opening your eyes to the aesthetic beauty in all things.
Why Handmade Jewelry?
I love using my hands to create and the organic feel of a truly handmade piece of jewelry, without any machines. There is a rawness to handmade jewelry that I find really appealing. When you buy handmade you know there was a lot of thought, intention and creativity put in to it.
