Mar 2008 - C. Gail Designs

Candace of C. Gail Designs is a self-taught jewelry artist, who has always wanted a career that is not of the typical 9 to 5 persuasion. What started out by accident after a trip to Michael's Arts and Crafts five years ago for a beading kit has blossomed into so much more, than she could have ever imagine at the time!

Family life keeps her very busy, but she is always plugging away at her jewelry in the hopes of making this a full time career! This has become her passion and artistic drive in life. With the support of family and friends she keeps expanding her skills.

Candace loves simplicity and her designs reflect that in their simple and organic feel. Hand-forming, soldering, oxidizing and hammering wire shapes gives her the artistic freedom with each piece, allowing her heart and soul to be expressed in the crafting process. This type of craftsmanship allows the owner of each piece to truly enjoy it's unique characteristics.

In natures, textures, colors and shapes, she is always drawing inspiration from the world around her. Her designs involve the use of sterling silver and copper with the move to add gold in the future. The use of semiprecious stones along with Swarovski crystals and pearls allows her to add a punch of color when needed to her creations.

Everything is made in her home studio, smoke and pet free environment.
