From the beaches of Australia to the seaside in North Carolina - Grace Designed Jewelry was created from a passion for the unique! I enjoy creating fun, beautiful jewelry and accessories for those who enjoy something a little bit different.
Originally from Australia, I now live near the ocean in North Carolina. The sea, its changing colors and moods influence my work and provide some of the natural elements found within many pieces (shells, shark teeth, sea glass, coral). The colors of Australia and coastal USA, provide inspiration for the richness and depth found within many of my creations. I have always loved living by the ocean and constantly draw inspiration from the sea and the ocean's shore for my jewelry creations!
My handcrafted designs are primarily worked in sterling silver but I do use other metals such as gold and copper. My silverware pieces are made from vintage silver plated silverware sourced from all over the USA. I enjoy finding different patterns and bringing them back to life as fish, elephants, octopus, cats and other unique designs. My silver and copper statement pieces are made using designs from the late 1800's and early 1900's. These are handcrafted using traditional silversmith techniques and processes, similar to that of jewelers from places like Paris, Providence and Rhode Island in bygone times. Vintage inspired jewelry needs vintage techniques, right?
Please contact me if you would like something created especially for you, or if you have a special occasion - wedding, graduation, birthday, a surprise gift for that special someone, or, just because you want something special, different and unique - just like you!
