5 out of 5 starsNina is great! She created a custom order for me. I’m a lyricist, so over the years I’ve gotten really sentimental about the look of the common Composition Notebook. I wanted a notebook necklace that looked like one, but I wanted it to be something durable enough to last forever. And it had to have replaceable pages, because I actually want to use it. Turns out that’s kind of a tall order; I couldn’t find anything that checked all those boxes. But then I found Nina’s shop, which had these beautiful little copper books with replaceable pages. She agreed to make it in the style of a composition notebook, and it’s quickly become something special to me. I feel good everytime I put it on. I use it to write intentions for the day, little notes of gratitude, and rhymes for song lyrics I don’t want to forget. I love it!! <3

Handmade Jewelry and One of a Kind Keepsakes
My name is Nina Gibson. I am a silversmith and jewelry maker. My independent studio is at home where I fabricate each piece of jewelry by hand. I love working with metal. Nothing is better in this work than taking a hammer to metal and watching the metal twist and change. I use decorative and lettering stamps to embellish and texture silver, copper, brass and gold, adding gemstones and glass. In 2006 I turned my creativity into a business. I also love working with clients on custom orders making something special just for them. Please contact me if you have any custom ideas.
I live in Southern California with my husband and two boys. I have a B.A. in theater arts from Loyola Marymount University where I also studied jewelry design. I continue to attend workshops and classes, learning new techniques and I am always tinkering at my bench. I have always been a crafter and enjoy working with my hands. I knit, sew, cook, and doodle etc.
I also have a shop for my illustrations: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ninasfavoritecolors
A note about materials: I buy fair trade and reclaimed raw materials from companies who are environmentally conscientious. I recycle my own scrap and materials wherever possible, and on the occasion that I use chemicals, they are the most environmentally safe available. Smoke Free environment.

Additional policies and FAQs
Rings are custom items - made to order and available in your size. If you are unsure of the size you need, I recommend having your finger sized at a local jewelry store or inexpensive ring sizers are available: https://www.etsy.com/listing/60545436/
If you find that you need a different size, please contact me. I can provide re-sizing service for a fee. This fee is dependent on the style of the ring and the difference in size required.
