ABOUT THE DESIGNER from her website!

I started Jewel Street Designs a couple of years after my daughter was born with a soft cleft palate. I was needed at home, but I also had a lot of creative energy that needed an outlet. Since then, my style has continued to evolve and has finally settled on the current style you will see on my site.

My jewelry is a reflection of everything that inspires me. From architecture, to nature, to books, and art. All of my pieces are completely designed and created by me.

I have also had my work in the Step by Step Wire Magazine in the summer of 08.
