Creative Outlet
I've been making jewelry since 2008 when I decided I needed a way to let creative my creative juices flow...away from my graduate studies. Since then I've started my Etsy shop, made jewelry and hair accessories for many of my friends' weddings, and participated in local craft fairs. My interest has only grown in jewelry-making and I plan on taking classes to further my artistry.
I am the designer, photographer and owner of Indy Gem. My lil' business is run out of my shared home studio with my husband. I love thinking up design ideas, hunting for vintage findings, and creating and photographing each "gem" of an item.
I really love to incorporate floral, vintage, and rare components into my jewelry and accessories. So many of the items in my shop will have a vintage or retro flair and are sometimes one of a kind! As an avid reader, I also had to utilize vintage findings to create adorable (in my mind) little bookmarks which are featured heavily in my shop.
