I got into jewelry design and creation completely by accident. I've always thrived on creativity. I always joked that my job as a hairstylist was also my therapy! It allowed me so much creativity, and I never felt bored.

In 2012 an unexpected surgery left me off work for two weeks, and without my job to keep me occupied, I made a trip to the hobby store in search of a craft to keep my hands busy. I was right away drawn to all the beautiful beads hanging down the jewelry making isle. And so it was there that it all started.

Soon after I was taking classes at one of the independent beading stores, exploring new techniques, and acquiring new materials from all over the world. My new passion had flourished in a big way, and I was producing many different styles of jewelry.

I began sharing and selling my jewelry pieces out of my own hair salon, but soon I was wanting to reach a broader market. It was then that I opened up my shop on Etsy. I very quickly discovered that there is a great network of people here who love to share ideas, and curate great collections.

The greatest thing about being here on Etsy is that I reach a network of buyers, that truly appreciate the quality and uniqueness in something handmade. I will always be grateful for those people that see the importance in supporting independent designers and operators. Thank you!!!
