I've always loved creating. My love of Handmade Jewelry began at age 9 with a Catalog my Grandmother and I always looked through together. Later I obtained a degree in Commercial Art . I love an empty canvas, whether it be a blank piece of paper or a sheet of sterling silver, there are so many possibilities. I love the process of creating a piece of jewelry, from the idea, to drawing it out on paper, to holding the completed piece in my hand and then finally offering it to you, here on Etsy. I hope you enjoy my personal creations. Auralee
