Handmade Jewelry

What does your jewelry say about you?  Handmade jewelry reflects creativity, beautiful materials, and the passion of the artist who made it, as well as the taste, style and individuality of the wearer.

Allison Dayton is one of our favorite designers of handmade jewelry. Allison searches the world over for the best sources of beads, stones and metals to make her stunning and globally diverse handmade jewelry. Allison tells us she wants to hold the stones and beads and not just see them. She believes that handmade jewelry is inspirational jewelry and holding and feeling the stones inspires her designs. She loves jewelry markets with hundreds of tables piled high with any stone you have ever heard of. She wants to understand what the gems and stones mean to the women and their culture. Allison looks for beads that are unique when designing her handmade jewelry. Many of Allison’s gorgeous, handmade earrings coordinate with the designs of her bracelets and necklaces, or can be worn with your current favorite jewelry. Their scale is rather small, to compliment a layered necklace look, or an armload of bracelets. Throughout history, handmade jewelry has expressed personality, playfulness and position. Still today, handmade jewelry turns the ordinary into the exceptional.

We love everything about Pick Up Sticks. Cousins Glena and Sabrina come from a small town in New Mexico where they grew up on their great grandmother’s porch and developed an appreciation for nostalgic images, antiques, and timeworn treasures. They came together to start Pick Up Sticks, with unique handmade jewelry designs that incorporate antique sentiment and collectible items. Their double-sided charm necklaces combine vintage photos and imagery with memorable and sometimes playful quotes to form truly inspirational jewelry.

Shelly Rudiger is another designer of handmade jewelry that oozes creativity; Shelly paints and collages everything. Shelly’s genius conjured up the idea to use dominos to create the perfect substantial look. Dramatic necklaces are all the rage on fashion runways and we've worked with our talented and creative domino necklace maker to translate the runway to reality with something a little simpler. Our best selling Domino necklaces have a beautiful new look with multiple strands of colored stones. Shelly’s heart domino pendant, which is collaged onto a actual domino on a double strand of multi-hued beads including semi-precious stone, wood, and chunks of turquoise is as clever as it is beautiful. Who knew handmade jewelry could look so great?

What’s not to love about Metalsgirl handmade jewelry? Laura Gibson is the designer and also someone you wish you were cool enough to be friends with. She’ll make you feel like a friend and she hails from Austin, Texas, where her handmade jewelry is all the rage. We thought it was time for a little audience participation and the Metalsgirl handmade jewelry Design Your Own Necklace is where you come in. You start with a sterling silver chain with a hand-hammered hoop and you choose the word charm and a color to make your own piece of handmade jewelry personal and with your own combination. Each color also has an herb with a special significance. Your inspirational jewelry will become your own personal creation, so get creative and have fun!

Metalsgirl earrings are simple, sexy, subtle, and striking. We found similar earrings in a fancy New York boutique and wear them frequently. After a little chat with Metalsgirl, she designed some we love even more! We truly think every woman should own handmade jewelry. These earrings are a thin, hammered sterling silver hoops - simple enough for t-shirts, but special enough for evenings out. Isn't handmade jewelry a pleasure?

We discovered handmade jewelry from Collignon Designs at a charity shopping benefit. Anyone who combines her work with good deeds is our kind of person!. The clean lines of this sterling and gemstone collection intrigued us with a dainty and simple look. These are versatile and precious pieces you'll love to wear. Lauren Collignon Hoskins has designed a line especially for Give Simple that celebrates the joy of, you guess it, simplicity! A student of design, she knows how difficult it is to create simple designs that remain elegant and can stand the test of time. Choose her styles by color, or by the properties ascribed to the gemstones.
