Unique Handmade Jewelry by Andrea Davies @ AproposbyDesign

FROM CORPORATE TARGET TO ARTISAN JEWELRY DESIGNER:
After losing my deck chair on the financial industry’s "Titanic,” and soon after that faced with the tragic loss of my youngest brother to cancer, I was anxious to do something creative. Life hands some people lemons and they make lemonade, life handed me a bag of rocks — or so I thought. When I peeked inside and discovered they were gemstones, I snatched the bag and never looked back. I ADORE jewelry — always have — and I wanted to design and create it for as long as I can remember. I could “hear” my baby brother saying, “Go for it.” That’s when I started to make jewelry.

MY APPROACH TO JEWELRY DESIGN:
I am always on the lookout for unusual things (new and vintage) to use in my handmade jewelry. In fact, many elements in my jewelry come from other jewelry artisans — especially other "Etsiers." I spend a lot of time and effort to ensure that each piece of jewelry I make has the best materials and highest quality so sometimes it takes months from start to finish on a single piece of my handmade jewelry. I search for the best combinations of materials to ensure that I achieve just the right look and highest quality — my unique handmade jewelry guarantee!

HOW AproposbyDesign IS DIFFERENT:
Each piece of my handmade jewelry has my own personal touch that I’ve added just to make it uniquely AproposbyDesign! It may be a mix of jewelry techniques in a design, or gold and silver wire that I’ve twisted together to wrap gemstones, or perhaps it's a pair of my gold and silver ear wires I made to match the cut of gemstones in a pair of earrings, or picking a special pearl for a necklace, or matching gemstones and that perfect clasp for a special necklace — the list goes on! My unique handmade jewelry reflects quality materials and careful workmanship — after all, if I wouldn't wear it, why should you?
