1. What made you start Solstice LTD?
“When I was a teenager, I use to bead with my friend and we would sell and give them to our other friends as gifts. It wasn’t until about 10 years ago, I saw Sandra Bullock wearing this simple elegant lariat and thought...wow, I could do that. I pulled out all my jewelry supplies and started beading; I sold a ton of them for $18. It grew from there; I started purchasing premade charms to add to my designs. It was fun, but was just not satisfying my creative side. I wanted to make my own charms and pendants, so I took an Art Clay (fine silver) class … and well the rest is history."
“I make every single one of my pieces, so each is a one of a kind design. It’s like getting a little piece of art. I have been creating my own original designs for the last 3 years. Lately, when I've been doing trunk shows, people will come up to me and tell me they saw or purchased my jewelry from one of the stores I am in. They recognized my design and were able to tell it was “mine” just by looking at it! That is so rewarding. It meant I have a signature style.”
3. What is the jewelry made of?
“My charms and pendants are made of Pure Silver (.999 FS) meaning there are no other alloys mixed with the silver. I also offer my line in 24K Gold Vermeil. The chains are either sterling silver or gold filled. “
4. What inspires you to make the pieces you do?
“I love to create and I believe there are no such things as mistakes, only happy accidents. My ultimate goal is to bring out a little of the wearer’s personality, to bring a smile to their face or even make them giggle a little. I like to call my jewelry “Whimsically BoHo Chic.” It is light hearted, fun, yet chic.”
