Welcome to Back Porch Jewelry

A few years ago a friend of mine tried to get me to make jewelry. It was a passion of hers and she thought I'd like it. I told her I didn't have time but shortly after that my future daughter-in-law was looking for jewelry for her bridesmaids. My girlfriend helped me design the bridesmaid necklaces and I didn't know it then but that was the start of Back Porch Jewelry.

Bridesmaid's Jewelry

Since then I've learned to make all different styles of jewelry. I've made gemstones jewelry, sterling silver chain maille jewelry, seed bead jewelry and a whole line of jewelry for the college sports fan (with a strong preference for red and black). Go Wolfpack!

North Carolina weather allows me to spend many hours on our back porch enjoying the birds and beautiful view. Many pieces of my jewelry have been created on this back porch so it seemed fitting to name my line of jewelry Back Porch Jewelry.

The Back Porch

I will be sharing some of my favorite pieces on the blog. Many pieces are available for sale but some are a one of a kind piece.

Can't find jewelry to compliment that new outfit? I would be happy to work with you to create that special piece.
