I think my story is in several parts, nothing I do ever comes about from one reason (how ever good that reason may be)
I've always been crafty, but when my friends handed me a bag of bullet shells and asked me to try to make something, I think that's what really put everything into motion.

One of my signature designs is the bullet shell-charm cluster, I find that with this design I'm able to make something beautiful and useful out of something that would otherwise be rusting on the ground of some shooting range.

All of my pieces are made with recycled materials making use of the many many broken, and outdated pieces given to me by family members. Being the youngest of a large family means that more than just clothing gets handed down.

Another piece in the puzzle of why I started making jewelry is my size. As a "plus sized" person I found that buying jewelry was always tricky, especially high-fashion or statement pieces. As such, I make a lot of long chain styles, and even my shorter styles have a lot of length because I want everyone to have the option to wear what they want.

A bit more about the shop:

The store’s name comes from the materials I use. The Bell is the flare, bits of shiny metal, or glittery charms. The stone is the hard work, and the hard materials like quartz,
granite and amethyst.. So while I make some pieces that are similar there are no two exactly alike.
I am currently expanding my My Little Pony:FIM collection. After the most wonderful convention in the world, I realize that my Rarity-tastic love of fashion translates really well into grown up (and sometimes useful) pieces of pony-related jewelry.
