I integrate the natural resources of Michigan into my nature inspired pieces. My jewelry and ceiling fan pulls are uniquely crafted with high quality materials. Materials include: sterling silver, copper, beach glass, beach stones and gemstones. In hand working the materials, I am truly inspired by nature and I infuse that into every aspect of my work. Many of my pieces contain beach stones that I found on the shores of the Great Lakes and incorporated into my jewelry. A native of Michigan, I am moved by the beautiful state and can be frequently found combing the beaches of Michigan for new materials and ideas.

Anna C. Shade Jewelry & Metalwork Success Story
I started my shop on Etsy in June 2008. I started out small as my skills were developing in jewelry making. I finally found my niche when my love of stones and beach glass came together in jewelry that has deep meaning.
Over time as I've expanded to doing shows in the last two years, Etsy has helped my custom business grow. Customers can find me easily on Etsy and that starts the relationship off right.
Etsy is an important part of my overall promotion plan. It helps me connect my work to the larger Etsy audience.
