From the artist: I have a number of crafts that I love -- knitting, sewing, crocheting -- but I especially love making jewelry. I started out just experimenting and decided to take some classes to learn more. I happened upon a fantastic local bead shop that gives all sorts of classes. I took a few classes that set me on this current path -- a polymer clay bead making class and chain maille classes. I immediately took to the classes and skills I learned and I hope that it shows in my work. Please know that every piece I make is a labor of love and I hope that my jewelry brings continuous joy to everyone who wears my pieces.

From the artist: My name is Heather and I'm a self-taught jewelry artist. What started out as a small "project" creating my bridesmaid jewelry back in 2004 blossomed into a full-on obsession with gemstones, beads and precious metals. Creating more than I could ever wear myself or gift to friends, I began selling on Etsy in 2008. Countless hours are spent combining different gemstones, playing with patterns, twisting and manipulating wire — all to create a final one-of-a-kind piece worthy of sharing with you. Visit http://indiabluejewels.com/ to discover designs that bring you as much joy in their wearing and gifting as they do to me in their creation!
