Handcrafted Sterling Silver Jewelry
I have original jewelry designs in sterling silver that cannot be found elsewhere. All of my pieces are entirely hand made by me. Do you want something that is unique and one-of-a-kind? Then visit my online shop .
Jewelry making started out as a hobby for me that got a little out of hand. Making quality jewelry, turned out to be a large commitment in time and money. Because of that, my husband told me that I better find a way of supporting my habit.
So, long story short, I began marketing my jewelry on a site called Etsy. It's composed of thousands of online stores filled with handmade goods.

These are a few of the pieces of jewelry that I have designed and made. Many of them can be found at my online shop

Or, if you've ever read my blog, probably not!
I have a blog named Just Some Contrariwise Ramblings which, as you can tell from my writing style, is aptly named. I use it to write about some of my adventures (or lack there of) and I feature artists/crafters that amuse me.(For an example, check out my Dec 18th post about Bunnies that Swear.)

What is Etsy?
Etsy supports sellers who sell handmade items that they have created. This ranges from artists who paint and create sculpture, to jewelry makers, beadmakers, knitters and crocheters. Not only is an affordable sales venue for sellers, but it also is a great resource for buying supplies that sellers use to create their art.
Anything and everything handmade can be found on Etsy, and the community has been building momentum. For more information, visit www.etsy.com!
