ABOUT
ANYA JEWELRY
Although I have been making things since I was a teeny one, the real roots of ANYA Jewelry started with one inspired high schooler in a Metal Arts class. Since then I have been creating metal jewelry, mostly with silver, for myself, friends and family. After perfecting techniques and designs for many years, I decided to make a real business and share my passion with the world! Most creations are made at home but a few have been made in the new metal smithing shop I started at her college!
​
Every day is a new experience, with new ideas, failures and lessons but jewelry making continues to be something constant in my life. I am always looking for new people to collaborate, brainstorm and create with!
THE VISION
My vision for ANYA Jewelry is a business that shares my passion and inspires others to find creative outlets for themselves. I hope for my jewelry to be loving armor that people adorn themselves with to face the world. We all need a little something to bring out our strength, silliness and beauty. Jewelry can do that for us! Another aspect I hope ANYA Jewelry can hold is that of gift giving. I envision friends expressing their appreciation for each other by gifting pieces of jewelry that they feel compliment or highlight a dear friend or lover. If you have a specific idea that you want made, I am open to consigned pieces as well!
