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.

I pretty much never leave the house without a snack in my bag. I started carrying around snacks when I was pregnant with Jude. Constantly eating helped keep the nausea away. Today, I’m not pregnant but I still eat a little throughout the day. Eating a little here and there keeps me from becoming super…
With Christmas around the corner I’m sure a lot of us are doing more shopping online. I previously posted about the importance of internet security while shopping online. Keeping your information safe is important, especially to AVG. My husband, the family computer expert, installed AVG on our computer and here are his thought: AVG Internet…
Am I seriously writing a tutorial on How to Change a Diaper? Yes, yes I am. You see a few weeks ago I was feeding Simon in the church nursery when the baby room worker (who was apparently new) asked me how to change a diaper. I was a little shocked that she didn’t know…
We use the internet a lot. You don’t really think about how much you use it until you don’t have it. I am reminded of how addicted I am to the internet every time we visit Joe’s grandmother in South Carolina. She doesn’t have internet and my little bloggy brain about explodes every time we…
Jude doesn’t have school on Monday so Joe is taking a half day and we are going to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live! This will be the 3rd year that we’ve taken Jude to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live! and he is still just as excited about the show as the first time we took…
Joe loves to give me gifts. I love receiving them. So this past Valentine’s Day he got me some beautiful earrings from Novica and a cute handbag. What a man! I love the Peridot Flower Earrings because I often wear dangling earrings which can be dangerous around small children. These beautiful studs are called the…
