It all started with a love of pretty rocks…

I have been a “rock hound” for as long as I can remember. I was that kid who came home with cool rocks in her pocket. To this day I pick up rocks tell my husband “Look I found an Agate!” or something similar. Making jewelry with those “cool” rocks started as means to justify my cool rock habit, and grew into a passion.

At Curly Top Jewelry Design LLC, every piece is hand crafted and one of a kind. Just like no two stones are exactly the same, my wraps change depending on the needs of the stone. My signature style is a little rustic. Naturally shaped, or unpolished stones are used frequently, as well as the usual shiny cabochons that are popular by most wire artists. And of course, most of my pieces have a curl or swirl at the top, just like the curls on my head.

Creating these pieces have been a work of love and joy. I hope my art will provide a little love, joy, and beauty you can wear and take with you wherever your feet may lead.
