WHAT GOT YOU INTO JEWELLERY DESIGN?
I NEVER WORE MUCH JEWELLERY GROWING UP... MAINLY BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND ANY PIECES THAT REFLECTED MY STYLE (AND PRICE RANGE). I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CREATIVE, SO I STARTED WITH SOME DIY'S FOR MYSELF, AND THEN PEOPLE STARTED ASKING ME TO MAKE THEM SOME PIECES... SO I GUESS IT JUST GREW FROM THERE
