20 Years In Jewelery

ABOUT SALLY

I grew up south of Buffalo, NY and have moved through Rochester, NY; Baltimore, MD; Mt. Top, PA and finally (I hope) Chicago, IL.

My first experience with juried art shows was as a tole painter when I was in junior high school. In 2006, I begin selling my jewelry at a local farmer’s market. After my first sale, I knew what I wanted to do as my children continued to work me out of a job and grow up!I make time to work in my home studio when I can.

I try to spend a little time every day working on new pieces and mastering new techniques. I am constantly thinking of design possibilities to put wire and beads together to create a piece pleasant to look at and to wear.

Every piece I make is a one-of-a-kind creation – just like all of you!

"HEART" PIECES

There’s a piece of my heart and the givers heart in these creations. Do you have a beautiful watch or brooch that your grandma wore? Would you love to wear it, but it’s just not your style or it doesn’t fit? Let’s get together! We’ll talk about your hopes for wearing the piece and ways to make that possible. Take a look at my design gallery for examples.
