Announcement
Welcome to my world of 95% one of a kind jewelry (OOAK) for independent thinkers, and designs to fit any lifestyle. I may resonate with people who own their own look, they are trend setters, not trend followers. I've always been of that mind, and am reaching out to people who appreciate different. The eclectic mix is boho, minimalist, geometric luxe beaded jewelry. Wire wrapped and often organic natural stone jewelry. Boutique wearable art.
Handcrafted boutique jewelry is offered with an emphasis on unique, color, and texture, where designing begins with eclectic and the magic is in the details.
One of a kind (OOAK) wearable art Three key signatures: (1) nothing is standard or otherwise expected with use of color; it's always a surprise even to me, (2) mixed metals and (3) randomness and/or asymmetrical... but a huge part of that randomness is intentional. And why? To give you many more options in wearing these eclectic pieces. And I am bringing back the pendant necklace. Love its simplicity.
I do offer LAY-AWAY because it just makes good common sense, so if that sounds good, check it out here under shop policies. Just scroll way down.
I love quality stuff. I just do. So when I am shopping for jewelry elements, I naturally look for what appeals to me, but with you in mind, the shopper who seeks unique and values details. I design with intent, and my goal is to bring you a great experience without compromising quality. I want you to be happy as in REALLY happy with any product of mine.
You will see prices ranging from low to high and for good reason, so please ask about something if it seems puzzling to you. My motto is every person deserves to feel special!
A love of organic earthy stones (natural) is evident, plus a heavy use of lampwork glass and authentic Murano glass. It is important to note that when you purchase a boho beaded bracelet, for example, that incorporates designer lampwork glass, you benefit from the creative process of two artists.
Thank you for visiting!

I love everything about this bracelet and this shop in general. There are so many beautiful pieces that it was hard to make a choice. I'm extremely happy with my bracelet. The colors are stunning, it fits well and it is well made.

These earrings arrived promptly. I love them and wear them almost every day. They are just as described and pictured.

It's in my DNA ... this love of color and texture ... cooljewelrydesign = the magic is in the details
cooljewelrydesign uses color and texture and high grade semi-precious stones, sterling silver and other metals plus elements not typically found or arranged by anyone else. Why? Because random chaos is alive and well in my studio.
I strive to be the creator/designer of one of a kind (OOAK) jewelry for you. 98% of my jewelry will fall into that category. No outsourcing of any kind.
To offer a wide range of products, styles, and prices that will appeal to an audience of women who love a boho/mod look, maybe romantic, simple, etc., AND you will hear me speak of *crossover* in many design descriptions ... and why? Because one piece of jewelry can overlap into more than one style.
Why not stick to just one price point? High end, low end...somewhere in between ... because I have always adored shopping in boutiques--it's that simple. And I want to offer that experience to everyone.
The range of prices hopefully opens my door to more shoppers who can also take advantage of my lay-away program ... see shop policies for details or convo me. EVERY gal deserves to feel special, and quality jewelry is part of what makes a lot of (not all) women tick.
PRICING
Simply put, I LOVE quality, the good stuff. Just me. So I am happy to pay more for ingredients sometimes because I do not follow vendors who offer deals. The *deal* often results in inferior stones, beads, findings, etc. That's not what I would want for me .... and most importantly ... for you.
Wherever I am, my eye is roaming around ...shopping for quality ingredients. Sometimes that takes me to Europe, vintage shops, and definitely to trusted sources of lampwork and authentic Murano glass. Boutique jewelry at amazing prices.
BACKGROUND
I was artistic as a child, drawing, painting, designing ... and then as all women do ... morphed into this LOVER of jewelry (as opposed to shoes or handbags, for example). And I know my grandmother, who was a zany creative woman, is at the heart of this.
When I moved from NJ <sigh> to Atlanta, somehow I discovered Etsy (years ago) ... and mused "why can't ... I ...do this?" <<and I thought I was so original--making jewelry--as though so few people did that.>> Oh my gosh, just the reverse.
So I taught myself and evolved over time, with an end result of absolutely adoring COLOR and texture. Always on the bohemian side, independent, owning my own look, etc., I reach out to kindred souls who can appreciate being a bit different. This is a passion and I am completely grateful to have found this path later in life.
ADDITIONAL
In addition to quality designs and jewelry, I offer stellar customer service and am very convo friendly, so don't be shy.
I would encourage anyone with a shred of creativity to join the Etsy community as a shop owner, as well as a buyer.
■ All items arrives gift wrapped to give as a gift, even if to yourself :-)
■ If you see something but it appears to be the wrong size for you, let's talk about a solution BEFORE making a purchase.
■ GUYS, purchase without fear--she may exchange for same amount or higher.
■ I often donate jewelry to worthy causes, or % of proceeds, I just don't advertise that information.

Owner, Designer
Jersey girl in ATL. My first steps in life were toddling over to my Nana Roxie's jewelry box that held such beautiful and sparkly mysteries ... loved jewelry before I was born. Now "that's" early in life. You don't follow trends, you set your own.
Shop policies
PLEASE KNOW THIS: I do not buy in bulk (on purpose) unless it's a staple bead/stone used in several designs. I scour the earth for *different* so that you feel special wearing a piece by cooljewelrydesign. I specifically do not wish to crank out multiples, with the exception of a very few stretch bracelets.
I hunt down the most excellent ingredients, natural and otherwise different stones, lampwork, Murano glass,etc. The designs are with you in mind ... many stretch bracelets, for example, have TWO focals = 2 bracelets in 1. That is value added. MOST are one of a kind pieces of wearable art. 80% of the sterling silver is Karen Hill Tribe ... 99.9% silver.
YOU are special ... and deserve special.
L A Y - A W A Y ... scroll way down under Additional Info.
************
COMMUNICATIONS ...
I think open communications are important. I like to extend the highest level of customer service and look forward to being as helpful as possible = I want you to be a happy customer. ((I put myself in *your* shoes))
JEWELRY RESIZING seems to crop up now and then ... refer to that policy ..... WAY DOWN the page ...
My promise to you: most rules fly out the window when you are a regular client ... do I want your business? I do. I believe in being super fair and think what I have described under LENGTHENING ... way down ... is basic and to the point.
**********
RESERVING an item: More than happy to reserve an item for up to and including 3 days. After that, the reserved status is removed ... and the item is released back into Etsy Land. No exceptions.
Happy to answer any questions via convo.
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMETHING BREAKS?
Well ... that is certainly unfortunate for both of us ... contact me immediately and we will discuss what happened ... and certainly work out a workable solution. This will result in buyer paying for:
--return shipping to me with insurance
--shipping from me back to you
--if solutions I devise do not meet your approval, please by all means return for a full shop credit minus 15% restocking fee.
If *we* decide to rework the piece and it requires time and materials ... that will be discussed on a case by case basis.
I use the best materials that are available, but even they can be flawed. Accidents happen, perhaps it is not the materials or design ... and something gets caught or dropped ... was a clasp closed fully ... life happens, let's just be real with each other.
Accepted payment methods
- Accepts Etsy Gift Cards and Etsy Credits
Returns and exchanges
- Custom or personalized orders
- Items on sale
You are more than welcome to return something in its original condition within one week after receiving it for a refund, as long as nothing is damaged. The item must be in perfect condition and shipped insured with a *delivery confirmation* -- shipping fees are not refunded.
■ There will be a 15% RESTOCKING fee on returned items; once your item is gone from my shop it is out of circulation and cannot be seen by anyone else; upon its return, I have to relist the returned item and pay Etsy a fee. So your refund = the cost of the item minus 15%.
■ If you return an item for any reason, that does not meet your standards ... and I have tried all rescue tactics ... and we still do not have a meeting of the minds ... please return for a shop credit minus 15%.
■ No refund will be issued for custom orders.
■ Guys, shop with confidence ... hey, I know it's not always easy pleasing a woman ... but she is more than welcome to return for a shop credit and select something of her choice ... we can work out the details together.
■ Damage and loss (during transit) are covered by the shipping policies above. If the insurance is waived, cooljewelrydesign cannot be held responsible for damages and loss.
Payment
/// CUSTOM ORDERS \\\: 50% is required upfront (non-refundable) and the balance is due when I send you a photo for approval.
Try to be as thorough in your description of what you would like ... or what adjustment you need, etc., because I want you to be happy with the end result ... and I can only go on what I *hear* you say. And maybe a little phone time is in order at this point. Trust me, I want you to be totally happy.
Shipping
DOMESTIC US Customers
■ Your purchase will be shipped via USPS First Class (2-5 day delivery) with delivery confirmation on all items. You will be sent tracking information when your order is shipped. If you would like to purchase insurance, just let me know at time of sale in Notes to Seller, or convo me.
During crunch times (holidays or your personal deadlines; i.e., birthday gift), consider upgrading to 2-3 day delivery time ... trust me, this is a tiny fee.
Please provide a full street address for shipping. Please make sure the address on your paypal account is your current accurate address, if that is your preferred method of payment. Etsy and Paypal info should match.
****************************
INTERNATIONAL customers
I ship internationally under the following conditions:
I reserve the right to refuse to process any order or to refuse to ship to certain countries.
PROCESSING of international orders takes longer. Please allow 1-2 extra business days to accommodate this.
MOST ORDERS are shipped by International First Class Mail. with the small customs label which is now part of the shipping label. ((You will receive the customs label number as proof of shipping via Etsy.)) Delivery for most shipments is estimated by the US Post Office at 7-10 days. Although most parcels arrive in this time frame, there can be delays due to many factors including higher volume of mail, increased security concerns and time to clear customs.
There have been instances of international parcels taking 3-4 weeks to arrive. I have no control over the postal services and therefore cannot guarantee arrival dates or give credit for delays in shipping.
If you order does not arrive within 30 days, I can place a claim with the US Post Office for a lost parcel. Under US Postal regulations, this is the earliest I can ask for a claim inquiry. It can take an additional 30 days for the Post Office to investigate.
Customs, Duty Tax and VAT - Your parcel may be subject to a customs, duty or VAT tax. The regulations concerning whether or not your order will apply vary by country and it is the obligation of the consumer to obtain information concerning these taxes and pay them if necessary. You can usually obtain this information by contacting your postal office or customs office. I will not falsify any information on the customs forms.
*************************
■ You are responsible for any customs fees. Note: There is no insurance or delivery confirmation on international shipments -- without an upgrade.
■ Once items leave my hands, I cannot be responsible for their fate, so I recommend insurance.
■ Where multiple items have been ordered, it will save $$ if I do not gift box each item -- entirely up to you. Where this situation applies, PLEASE include this information in your convo to me or in Notes to Seller.
■ Any significant shipping overpayment (in excess of $2 over costs) is cheerfully refunded. cooljewelrydesign reserves the right to refuse service to customers with negative feedback and to certain countries without a commitment to insurance on the purchase.
I take great care to pack everything so it arrives as I would hope to receive something myself.

JEWELRY RESIZING / REDESIGN
If this requires anything out of the ordinary, let's discuss via Etsy convo as it could entail a different price.
CUSTOM ORDERS
50% required upfront after we discuss what you want, your budget, timing, etc.
Please feel free to convo me about anything related to resizing or other general questions, am very convo friendly.
WHOLESALE
Have sold wholesale before where a shop purchases different items; where it is stated that an item is one of a kind, it really is, so no duplicates are possible.
