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?
MY READY-TO-WEAR UNIQUE HANDMADE JEWELRY COLLECTION:
FINE SILVER JEWELRY: http://etsy.me/KITt8X
Want to wear unique handmade jewelry that is definitely fashion forward? My designs in fine silver metal clay and 22k gold accents give you the freedom to wear shapes and designs that combine precious metals and more for a personal fashion statement!
LUXURY JEWELRY & SMALL LUXURY JEWELRY:
Capture that extra special look or steal the show — both my unique handmade luxury jewelry http://etsy.me/KITcTq and small luxury jewelry http://etsy.me/1fdsCfe bring the unusual and beautiful to the forefront so that you can put your unique foot forward! Rare and superb pearls, gemstones, exquisite artisan beads, museum quality vintage pieces, precious metals and more are brought together in a variety of jewelry techniques and styles— all with an AproposbyDesign approach fitting to their beauty!
FUN & FUNKY JEWELRY: http://etsy.me/1fdsMTJ
Ready to kick back and relax or go out for a fun and lively time, or maybe you want something trendy but not too much? Then, you will find this jewelry fits right in. Whether it's kind of funky and bright or soft and subdued, you'll find these pieces are great for whatever plans you have!
UNDER $50 BEADED JEWELRY: http://etsy.me/1jBIY40
Want a small gift of jewelry for someone (or yourself) that’s different but budget-friendly? The price is right here! Still the same high quality materials and workmanship, this is handmade jewelry that is budget conscious but still uniquely AproposbyDesign — what a find!
MY CUSTOM MADE JEWELRY:
Maybe you have a special occasion (wedding?) coming up or a unique outfit that you would like to match with custom made jewelry or perhaps a special piece of unique luxury jewelry you’d like to buy for that special someone? AproposbyDesign welcomes custom orders and I’d loved to make that perfect piece of custom handmade jewelry just for you. Please feel free to contact me by convo, email, or call.
Thanks for stopping by!

Shop policies
I have always loved beautiful jewelry and I have been intrigued by the many styles and colors over the years. That's why you'll notice that my pieces cover a wide range of materials, different techniques, and variety of styles, colors, and textures.
Considerable time, work, and love is spent on my handmade jewelry so that you will be able to enjoy it. I strive to use materials that will produce lovely and unique handmade jewelry that is comfortable to wear. Because of that, a lot of time and searching goes into finding those materials that are "just right" long before the jewelry is designed. Also, I make every effort to purchase my jewelry supplies from other Etsy shop owners as I can count on the quality and believe in community support.
To help you while you browse, I provide detailed descriptions of the materials used for each piece of my handmade jewelry along with interesting insights about the pieces.
Please send me a convo for info about SPECIAL DISCOUNTS I may have. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me — I'm very "contact-friendly" — convo, email, or call. More unique jewelry is added to my shop regularly so please come back soon!
Thanks for stopping by AproposbyDesign … Andrea Davies :)
