**************************************************
BIO: My name is Glamorosi; I'm a full-time designer. I make high-fashion handcrafted jewelry for rock stars, super moms, goddesses, career women, pirate wenches, fairy princesses, style queens, and those of you who are all of the above.

I've been making jewelry since I was five years old and designing clothing and costumes since I was seven. I grew up on stage and local tv, worked in the music biz, and had a long and happy run as a makeup artist and stylist. As much as I loved painting faces it was always my secret wish to be a jewelry designer, and seven years ago on a dare and a prayer I traded in my brushes for pliers. I am self-taught as a designer, but I studied the jewelry business for close to three years as an intern/employee for a gemstone and bead supplier.

My Mother is my muse and all of my jewelry is designed with her impeccable style and high standards in mind. I use one of her modeling shots on my company literature and packaging, and that little bump below her elbow in the photo is me; I was born six months later.

My work is influenced by a lifetime of collecting modern and vintage jewelry and clothing, and by everything I see and experience on a daily basis.

When I'm not working I pursue my passion for cooking and fine dining, I grow a variety of flowers, fruit, heirloom vegetables and herbs, and I study perfumery and aromatherapy. I'm married to a journalist who covers entertainment and pop culture, so I attend a lot of concerts and events. It all shows up in my designs.
