I've been making jewelry for as long as I can remember. Usually I only make jewelry for myself and my friends, but I've gotten so many requests/ compliments that I decided it was time to try starting a shop (that isn't Etsy or inside someone else's store).
I worked for chainmaille jewelry companies for the last 10+ years which I think is pretty rare. And while I'd mostly been behind computers for those jobs I've been making jewelry the entire time. My style combines chainmaille + my love of vintage + southwestern + punk + rock n roll. Chainmaille takes time and talent to create, so,
a-p-p-r-e-c-i-a-t-e (HANDMADE).
I'm from Chicago but currently I'm located in Austin with a bit of extra time on my hands. Born and raised in Chicago. Yes *CHICAGO* not a suburb, think north side Western Blue line... (go Cubs!)
