Announcement
WELCOME to my shop! Always FREE SHIPPING, on all orders over $35. Be sure to check back, I have a lot of new items made and will start listing soon.
YOU are important to me! Each item is designed and created personally, just for you. My goal is to ship your quality items quickly, so that you may enjoy your hand-crafted jewelry as soon as possible.
PLEASE NOTE: I promise to ship items on time (usually early), however, I cannot control how fast it will arrive. I ship first class through the USPS. I offer a priority upgrade if you are needing it quicker. The upgrade means that it will move faster while in USPS hands, but I still need the usual time to make the item.
This shop offers hypoallergenic, pure titanium earrings for sensitive ears. Titanium is a pure metal (nickel-free) and is gentle for even the most sensitive ears. I use only surgical, grade one, pure titanium! This amazing metal can be anodized to a wide range of colors. There are never any dyes or chemicals used.
If you have never tried titanium and the cost is stopping you, please ask about how to get a TRIAL PAIR! I know you will love them once you give them a try.
This shop uses only premium Czech glass beads in the designs.
If you see a design you like but prefer a different metal, size, length, or color, please, do not hesitate to ask! I am open to creating what you love and will respond quickly to let you know if your ideas are possible.
All items are designed and hand-crafted in my home studio, however I do purchase several components for the designs, including all beads. The titanium hoops and ear wires are always shaped by hand and filed at the ends for a comfortable fit.

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second pair of earrings from this shop. I am allergic to most metals, so I appreciate that these earrings are titanium. I loved all of the snowflake designs to choose from, but chose C for myself. Pretty and lightweight. Shipping was incredibly fast! Would definitely recommend!

I am so excited to have a new work space. Still need to keep it clean since it is off the kitchen, but it is my space.
This is MY WHY.
A lightbulb moment happened to me while I was listening to a business talk regarding the question, “Why are you doing what you are doing?” Such a simple question but for me, the answer is complex. Yes, I love to design - to put colors, shapes, and textures together to make beautiful objects - but, that isn’t so unusual. I am, at heart, a craftswoman. I have a Master’s degree in art with an emphasis in ceramics.
My “why” has developed over the years to become something bigger than the art of design - I gained new motivation, a renewed energy, and a strong sense of purpose.
My purpose is my family. I am a mom to four amazing kids! When one of my daughters was just a baby (she’s 20 now!), I was a potter without a studio and needed to consider other ways to channel my artist energy. Jewelry became a way to fulfill this need to create while providing a stream of income for my family. The timing could not have been more perfect as we were going through a real rough patch and had four hungry mouths to feed.
Three of those hungry mouths discovered a love for dance and my jewelry income helped to pay for classes. As they have grown, our financial needs have shifted, and now my husband and I have two kids in college and one in high school! How did that happen?!?
While my three oldest were in high school, they were each diagnosed with a progressive and degenerative disease that affects their peripheral nerves. The disease atrophies the muscles in their feet & legs and hands & arms. All too soon, all four of my children were officially diagnosed. As you can imagine, this has been a life-changer for them all.
And this is how I gained my new motivation, my renewed energy, and strong sense of purpose. This is my why - THEY are my why.
Now, instead of worrying about groceries and/or dance class money, I am doing everything in my power to help them get their start in their adult lives on a solid foundation - without pulling college loans. Their disease is unpredictable, but it is looking more and more like they will eventually be unable to work full-time. This disease has a wide range of severity. Already, it is clear to us that at least one will be in need of mobility devices in the future - it is possible that more will need this help as their disease progresses.
This shop represents the culmination of my motivation and my purpose. Thank you for supporting MY WHY!
DEFINITELY join my Facebook group for all kinds of fun! I offer specials, flash sales, and sample sales.

A bit more about my shop…
My goal is to offer more “Made in the U.S.A.” components to the shop. I are committed to finding as many locally sourced items as I can - it is not always an easy task.
A few years ago I was personally tasked with a mission to find a metal that wasn't as expensive as pure gold and silver, but that would be good for those with metal sensitivities. I found that pure titanium does not bother even the most sensitive ears and has the added “cool factor” that it is the same metal used during surgery to help repair broken bones. Every pair of earrings available in our shop can be made with titanium ear wire. I can also work with your ideas for bracelets and necklaces.
As an artist, I am continuing to learn new processes and ideas to bring to our shop. You can find me reading, watching for ideas, and working on new skills and techniques on a daily basis. As these ideas and skills form into something tangible, you will see them come to fruition via our Facebook page and Pinterest board - as well as right here on Etsy!
I have opened up my pottery shop on Etsy and invite you to check it out. I am so excited to be working in clay again, but don't worry, I am still making and shipping jewelry out on a daily basis. :)

I homeschool, I cook and clean, I do laundry (lots of it), I go to the beach, I make jewelry, I read, I laugh, I make pottery, I love God, my man and my four beautiful kids (teens and adults). I work hard at jewelry to help out our one income home.
Shop policies
I accept returns and exchanges on most items. The exception is the earrings that have been worn. I cannot refund or exchange earrings that have been previously worn.
If you are interested in trying titanium, but don't want to make the investment only to find out that you cannot return them, if they don't work? Please ask about a sample pair. That is a great way to try titanium for your sensitive ears.
All items are made by me in a smoke free and pet friendly home.

Privacy
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.
At Craft Like an Artist, I take your personal data very seriously. In order to comply with the EU GDPR Law, we issue the following statement which we agree to uphold when you place an order with us.
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment method, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order of jewelry, change of address, for example), if you contact me directly.
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. You may revoke your consent at any time and have the right in detail to request details of the information we keep.
Information sharing and disclosure:
I understand the importance of keeping personal data secure and safe and only share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as postal and delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
• Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on EU-US Privacy shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Etsy uses EU-US privacy shield and SSL to encrypt any credit payments.
Your Rights:
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
• Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
• Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
• Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
• Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
