The Pretty 1 whimsical jewelry is intricately handcrafted in Pittsburgh, PA by Nicole and Debbie. My business is named The Pretty 1 after my Auntie who always referred to herself as "The Pretty One" in the family.

I come from a family of designers and artists My mom, Debbie, also designs jewelry for The Pretty 1 alongside me.

I was originally inspired to design crochet jewelry after attempting to crochet an entire sweater (which I never did finish!). Many of my designs are my own patterns because I only know a few simple stitches.

Every handcrafted piece is a little bit unique, and we like that! Your piece of jewelry ail have the exact color scheme and bead combination photographed, however please be aware that the exact bead placement may very.

The beads and buttons we use are special because the Czech pressed glass beads are all hand painted and fired. We like to use a combination of pressed glass, pearls, and crystal beads in our whimsical designs.

Some of our button clasps are one-of-a kinds or vintage buttons, but we will use the exact buttons photographed for our leather wrap bracelets (because sometimes a particular button is the star of the bracelet).

Please send me a message if you have wholesale or custom design inquiries.

When I discovered Etsy, I fell in love with the idea of being able to exchange handmade items with customers and other artisans. It is so much fun to send out orders to people all over the world. I also enjoy finding unique gifts on Etsy for my friends and family.

I hope you enjoy The Pretty 1's Etsy shop,
Nicole
