Throughout my life, jewelry has always been an important part of my fashion. From rainbow loom rubber band bracelets to Claire's friendship necklaces, jewelry has been a means of expression. Sure, the styles were cute, but the materials weren't; the cheap brass and copper jewelry would always turn my fingers and neck green after regular wear and water exposure. After taking advice from my grandmother (who was an expert with her massive jewelry collection), I found the most affordable quality materials to look for were sterling silver and stainless steel. Now, I strictly incorporate these materials in all jewelry in my shop!
