Handmade jewelry is my weakness. I’m picky when it comes to buying jewelry but when it’s been thoughtfully crafted by hand, I’m sold. There are so many talented creative people that have the patience to craft beautiful jewelry. Below 14th Designs offers some of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry I’ve seen.
I received a pair of Brass Bowl Earrings and I love them. I have an obsession with metal work, there is something so beautiful about the raw beauty of metal. I’m typically drawn to silver but I really love these brass earrings, they are quickly becoming my favorite earrings.
I have been operating out of my workspace over my garage since 2005.
Tell readers more about your business:
Five years ago after a very stressful day as a brand new mom I went by a local craft store for a little project to work on. I picked up a beading kit. Jewelry design quickly became an obsession and Below 14th Designs was born. I am very inspired by things I find in nature and try to incorporate these ideas into my designs. All of pieces are either one of a kind or limited run.
