JackieandDeanDesigns

My name is Rebecca and I love creating. I always have. I live in NJ with my husband, two young boys, and my dachshund pup. Making things has always been my happiness and a therapeutic source, especially this year. I really can't imagine life without it! I am so happy to share my current and future work with you at my new Etsy shop, Jackie + Dean Designs (named after my boys). I also have an Instagram handle @jackie.and.dean where I post anything and everything I find creative and inspiring.

I'm inspired by so many things I see in the word - fashion, fabrics, travel, photography, colors, and textures... but, mostly I am inspired by things I find in nature. I think that finding a beautiful shell on the beach is like getting a small gift from the ocean. I love searching for shells and collecting them. It's like a treasure hunt I can't get enough of.

I also have a weakness for jewelry. I'm passionate about working on different designs that are pretty, feminine, sparkling, and versatile. I like to design and make pieces that can be worn with casual outfits, as well as dressy ones.

With that, I am excited to introduce you to the first creative projects I have stocked in my shop...shell dishes and jewelry!

The shells are perfect for holding jewelry and trinkets of any kind. I hand paint the back of each shell in metallic hues, while adding a simple clear gloss to the inside. This allows the natural color and beauty of the shell to shine through. I love how each one is totally unique. Each shell I make is different in color, size, and texture, so you know you are purchasing something truly original.

The jewelry is delicate, lightweight, sparkly and just fun! Dressed up or down, you can't go wrong with these pieces.

I hope you enjoy browsing & shopping my creations! I am available to work with you on custom designs if you don't find what you are looking for. Just message me any time!

Thanks so much for your support!
XO,
Rebecca
