element13jewelry

I started making jewelry when I was very young. My Dad taught me how to use his equipment to make silver pendants and my Mom taught me how to make silver beaded jewelry. I put my hobby on hold for many years, and began making jewelry again before my daughters were born. I wove silver wire and gemstones into necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

When I became a Mom, I found myself wanting to adorn myself with keepsakes of my family and started the business, Love Letters Charms, sterling silver initial charms in 4 different shapes - www.LoveLettersCharms.com

My next inspiration came from a trip to Lake Como, Italy, with my family. A tiny store in one of the little lake towns had beautiful Italian leather bracelets. I bought one for each of my daughters and one for myself. As soon as I got home I found myself wishing I had bought more! Well, a brief stay in the hospital with appendicitis gave me enough down time to start this new business, Pellarte Jewely, Pellarte.com.

My newest line is element13 jewelry and it is made entirely of recycled aluminum. The line has a clean, simple design that is casual yet elegant. The bright silver-white color looks great with jeans but also dresses up your cocktail attire! The piece are light weight and will never tarnish. elementThirteen.com
