Handmade Mixed Metal, Gemstone Jewelry and Shell Jewelry from Santa Barbara, California
Based in Santa Barbara, California very close to the beach, Eleven13 is a handmade jewelry line featuring a variety of gemstone jewelry, mixed metal jewelry, genuine Pearl and Abalone jewelry. Eleven13 jewelry only uses Sterling Silver, 14k Gold filled metal, Copper and Brass. Most of my jewelry collection is one of a kind and unique but I am happy to do what I can to fulfill your custom orders.
I originally found my passion for handmade jewelry about 25 years ago when I started making beaded belly chains, anklets and necklaces to wear to and at the beach.
I sold my beaded jewelry to friends and at a local business in the Bay Area.
For some reason I stopped making beaded jewelry and went about my life, moving on with marriage, family and work.
After my children, I once again found my passion for creating. This time it was sparkly children's room letters, plaques and sayings using Swarovski crystals. I have always had a thing for shiny, sparkly things. With this latest venture I discovered my old passion for jewelry. About 5 years ago I opened an Etsy shop and haven't turned back since! I still love shiny and sparkly but try to create a range of jewelry items to satisfy different types of people.
Creating jewelry pieces gives me inner peace, I love the feeling I get from different gemstones and to see my designs come to life and their new owners enjoy them.
I am mostly self taught but have taken a few local Soldering classes which I adore! I really enjoy making mixed metal jewelry.
You will find a variety of handmade jewelry pieces in my shop. I hope you will find one that speaks to you.
