I've been making jewelry for over 12 years. I worked as a investigator for the federal government for over a decade. During that time, I'd make jewelry and sell them to coworkers. While working, I attended school at night and received a Master in interior design.

After years of receiving compliments when wearing my creations, I decided to start sharing my earrings with the world. I currently work part-time in interior design, but decided to start my own business instead of working for others.

I handcraft each of these gems in downtown LA at the loft that I share with my boyfriend. I live two blocks from the jewelry district where I buy many of my supplies. I prefer to use high quality materials - from Swarovski beads to sterling silver or gold-filled ear wires.

The process of creating the earrings is meditative for me. My mind is quiet while I'm creating, and I lose all sense of time.

My middle initial begins with the letter "X" so I named the company "X Jewelry." Simple and easy to remember.
