Southern Chic Jewelry by Nicole

Southern Chic Jewelry was started at my computer desk on a whim. Thanks to my art teachers Mary Ann Barwick and Beth Hill, I loved art from the time I could pick up a pencil or paint brush. They taught me so much over those years! Then life got busy and art got further and further away. Realizing how much I missed creating, I picked up a pencil and sketchbook and got to work!

While doing some research for a painting, I came across a book on wire wrapping. I thought it sounded fun, so I figured I'd give it a try. I definitely spent many nights hunched over a piece of work, a glass of Knickerdropper (my fave wine ever!) to the side, grumbling a few choice words here and there. A few classes and a lot of trial and error later, I started to get the hang of this stuff! Dressed up or every day wear, ladies kept asking where I got my jewelry. Southern Chic Jewelry was born without me even realizing it!

Special Thanks to Cynthia Deis and the ladies at Ornamentea of Raleigh, NC (www.ornamentea.com) for answering so many questions and offering such inspiring classes. Thanks to Sara Tector of Tector Metals (www.stectormetals.com) for teaching me some basics to improve my work.

Everything is made with love and sterling silver. All pieces are 100% hand-made so no two are ever alike! They are all perfectly imperfect, beautiful, and a wearable piece of art. I love each one of them myself and want to keep them all!

I offer private jewelry parties locally (within 50 miles of Goldsboro, NC), so please feel free to ask about being a hostess. I always throw in a little something special (and shiny) for my hostess and if nothing else, it's an excuse for the ladies to get together and have some wine!

Credit cards are gladly accepted via PayPal.
