Welcome to my gallery and online shop
If you're someone who thinks out of the box, enjoys expressing yourself and being your own unique person, then you have come to the right place.
Stores and internet shops are flooded with cheap, mass-produced jewelry made in sweatshops. My gallery and shop feature items made with my own two hands, with love, patience, and attention to detail. Stand out from the crowd (and soak up those compliments) when you purchase from Unique You.
My commitment to quality
I use a variety of fine components in my designs, such as bali and thai silver, sterling silver, gold vermeil, semi precious gemstones, swarovski crystal of all kinds, glass beads, and delica and toho seed beads. I do NOT use imitation gemstones or plated sterling silver. Some of my designs do include lead free pewter, for a more affordable option.
All of my strung items are strung on braided 49-strand Accuflex brand beading wire, the finest on the market, and finished with heavy duty sterling silver crimp beads, crimp bead covers and a suitable sturdy clasp. Every description will detail the materials for the exact piece.
Any of the woven/weaved, netted or stitched pieces are hand stitched with a heavy duty braided line called Power Pro. This thread is resistant to water and fraying, the most durable beading thread on the market.
Custom Orders
I love custom orders! I will work with you according to your budget to create a one-of-a-kind custom piece just for you. Money no object? Perhaps you'll want your jewelry to include sterling silver or gold, shiny Swarovski crystals and the gemstones of your choice. On a strict budget? Consider pewter as an alternative to silver, and glass in lieu of gemstones. Simply fill out the Comment/Contact form below (make sure to leave your email address), and specify in the comment box that you would like a custom order. I will contact you (usually within 24 hours) and discuss the details of everything with you.
