Little River Designs was named after the river on my property where I live, design, and create jewelry. My jewelry business began as a hobby, designing for myself, then friends and family. I enjoy matching jewelry to outfits. A highlight was seeing my jewelry on the runway at the 2012 Mercedes fashion show in Miami. As an artist and outdoors woman, nature greatly influences my artwork. I view my pieces as wearable art, an expression of my current mood, using stones, crystals, and metals, much like a paintbrush. I believe customers seek this essential part of an artist – the entire process, from initial inspiration to finished product.
