A dictionary page and a dream...
Element Jewelry Design came from the flip of a dictionary page. I know that may seem odd, but it is true. I knew I wanted an Etsy shop, but had no clue what to name it. I vowed that the first word I pointed to with eyes closed was going to the be the name of my store. So that is how Element Jewelry Design was born :)
When I was younger I used to take apart my old jewelry and add new things to it to liven it up. I still enjoy doing this. So now it only seems natural to scour local flea markets and yard sales looking for pieces I like to term as "lost." I try to give them new life using the same process when I was younger.
My ultimate goal is to create lasting memorable pieces that you will be able to pass down from generation to generation. Whether it be a string of pearls or wire wrapped earrings. They are all made to last. I have always notoriously been very hard on my jewelry and so I want you, the buyer, to have something that will stand the test of time.
From time to time you might find other items on my page since I do like to dabble in other artistic pursuits, but this page is mostly composed of my jewelry obsessions. I do work full-time and dream of being able to create everyday in my own home instead of dragging myself to the dreaded 9-5. Everything I have made has been on my lunch break or on the weekends. Element Jewelry Design is my baby. I hope that if I nurture it, it will grow.
I hope that as you have read this, I have created a warm spot in your heart that you will feel free to pass on to others.
