My background is in Fashion History and Design. I formerly designed wedding gowns and formal wear in a home studio for about 10 years before entering the world of retail bridal as a salon manager and buyer. I saw that our customers were dissatisified with the "throw away" and "wear once" plastic pearl jewelry with a charm that was being sold at the time. Our customers wanted jewelry that was of better quality, an affordable price, and that could be worn again and again. And so, my jewelry line was born to coordinate with my line of Freshwater Pearl and Swarovski Crystal headpieces. My jewelry is designed with a fresh look at classic styling, using only the finest qualityFreshwater and Akoya Pearls, Swarovski Crystal and Gemstones. Beachglass was added to the jewelry lineafter we moved to Erie, and my husband started beachcombing. I had to do something with all the glass that is overtaking our house! 10% of my sales are donated to Wishes and Rainbows, a 501(c)(3) charity that helps children with Arnold Chiari Malformation, Syringomyelia and its associated disorders. www.wishesandrainbows.org Most of us with these disorders must travel to out of network clinics for proper care, and have high out of pocket costs for our medical care. Wishes and Rainbows focuses on the children with these disorders, helping out the parents with emergency expenses, making sure that the kids have great Christmas and Hanukkah through a program called "Santa Smiles".
