I am an artist by night and designer by day with a healthy love of fashion. Planning my wedding in 2006, I discovered the NYC jewelry supply district. If I wanted to wear it, I figured out how to make it. Being an avid thrift shop & flea market shopper, later on I was able to translate my love of vintage, and my love of collecting into a source of inspiration and imagery. In the spring of 2007 I started selling my jewelry online. I have not looked back since. This blog will be a view into that world…Tumblr (3.0; @ballandchainjewelry)http://ballandchainjewelry.tumblr.com/<img
