SECONDLINE JEWELS WAS BORN ON THE BAYOU OF SOUTH LOUISIANA IN 2012.
MY HUSBAND ( A PERCUSSIONIST ) WAS DESPERATE ON CHRISTMAS EVE FOR A GIFT FOR HIS PREGNANT WIFE. HE SCRAMBLED AROUND OUR STUDIO FOR A CLUE. THAT NIGHT HE MADE ME A NECKLACE USING A PIECE OF A BROKEN CYMBAL THAT WAS LAYING AROUND. IT WAS THE GREATEST GIFT I EVER RECIEVED... HE PRESENTED ME WITH THE NICHE I'D BEEN SEARCHING FOR, FOR 20 YEARS! I STARTED MAKING EVERY KIND OF ACCESSORY IMAGINABLE IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT NEVER TOOK ANY CLASSES ON IT. I HAVE NO FORMAL TRAINING, BUT IT HAS BEEN PERFECT, BECAUSE NO ONE REALLY WORKS WITH THESE SPUN ALLOY METALS ANYWAY. I WASN'T SURE IF THEY WOULD HOLD SOLDER, I WASN'T SURE IF I COULD ANNEAL AND BEND THEM. IT HAS BEEN THE MOST EXCITING LEARNING PROCESS! ATTENDING LIVE SHOWS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PAST TIMES, SO NOW, GOING TO CONCERTS AND TRYING TO MEET THE MUSICIANS TO COLLECT CYMBALS IS A JOB REQUIREMENT... I HAVE A SIGNATURE LINE CONSISTING OF FAMOUS CYMBALS - THE DRUMMER SIGNS THE BELL, AND WE DONATE A PERCENTAGE OF THOSE SALES TO THE CHARITY OF THEIR CHOICE. I LOVE THAT MY BUSINESS IS FULL CIRCLE, IN SO MANY WAYS. MY FATHER IS A PERCUSSIONIST ALSO, SO I GREW UP WITH THESE HEAVY METALS:)
