cooljewelrydesign uses color and texture and high grade semi-precious stones, sterling silver and other metals plus elements not typically found or arranged by anyone else. Why? Because random chaos is alive and well in my studio.

I strive to be the creator/designer of one of a kind (OOAK) jewelry for you. 98% of my jewelry will fall into that category. No outsourcing of any kind.

To offer a wide range of products, styles, and prices that will appeal to an audience of women who love a boho/mod look, maybe romantic, simple, etc., AND you will hear me speak of *crossover* occasionally in descriptions ... and why? Because one piece of jewelry can overlap into more than one style.

Why not stick to just one price point? High end, low end...somewhere in between ... because I have always adored shopping in boutiques--it's that simple. And I want to offer that experience to everyone.

The range of prices hopefully opens my door to more shoppers.

PRICING

Simply put, I LOVE quality, the good stuff. Just me. So I am happy to pay more for ingredients sometimes because I do not follow vendors who offer deals. The *deal* often results in inferior stones, beads, findings, etc. That's not what I would want for me and, most importantly, for you.

Wherever I am, my eye is roaming around shopping for quality ingredients. Sometimes that takes me to Europe, vintage shops, and definitely to trusted sources of lampwork and authentic Murano glass. Boutique jewelry at amazing prices.

BACKGROUND

I was artistic as a child, drawing, painting, designing and then, as most women do, morphed into this LOVER of jewelry (as opposed to shoes or handbags, for example). And I know my grandmother, who was a zany creative woman, is at the heart of this.

When I moved from NJ <sigh> to Atlanta, somehow I discovered Etsy (years ago) ... and mused "why can't I do this?" And I thought I was so original--making jewelry--as though so few people did that. Oh my gosh, just the reverse.

So I taught myself and evolved over time, with an end result of absolutely adoring COLOR and texture. Always on the bohemian side, independent, owning my own look, etc., I reach out to kindred souls who can appreciate being a bit different. This is a passion and I am completely grateful to have found this path later in life.

ADDITIONAL

In addition to quality designs and jewelry, I offer stellar customer service and am very convo friendly, so don't be shy.

I would encourage anyone with a shred of creativity to join the Etsy community as a shop owner, as well as a buyer.

■ If you see something but it appears to be the wrong size for you, let's talk about a solution BEFORE making a purchase.
■ GUYS, purchase without fear--we can always find a solution.
■ I often donate jewelry to worthy causes, or % of proceeds, I just don't advertise that information.
