I love the organic, imperfect nature of handmade jewelry. Each of my pieces is one of a kind. I love working with sterling silver, semiprecious stones, and vintage findings. In my day job I work at Anthropologie, Inc. but I spend most of my free time making jewelry and trying to develop my business, Villette Jewelry. I attended Moore College of Art and Design for metalsmithing and graduated from Temple University with a degree in English- Creative Writing. If you are interested in any Villette Jewelry products shown or a custom piece, please email VilletteJewelry@gmail.com.
I have had an interest in rocks, stones and gems ever since I was little. I dreamed of being a geologist (or rather a gemologist, as I later discovered) and was ecstatic when my parents bought me a rock tumbler for Christmas one year. I often broke open river stones to find geodes inside and to this day still have about ten shoe boxes in my old childhood bedroom filled with the stones I collected throughout the years. So it's not a surprise that I gravitate towards geode jewelry. The beautiful colors and raw crystals are breathtaking and only the simplest of settings is needed to compliment these magnificent stones.
