HellCat Jewelry Gets A Rockin' Review!

2008-06-24T20:55:00.002-04:00

Miss Serendipitist makes awesomeness her business. She has an uncanny eye for high quality, off-the-beaten-path, artsy-but-never-fartsy products, and she reviews them online in an informative, fun-to-read format. I'm not much of a shopper myself, but I have to say, I get the urge to make purchases every time I read her blog.

Which is why it's so cool that HellCat Jewelry made an appearance on the site recently! The review is exceptionally flattering, and the pictorial slideshow has some amazing shots.

So, the next time you're in the mood to shop, skip Target and check out Miss Serendipitist - you'll be glad you did!

Next Stop: AmericasMart Atlanta - June 21-24

2008-06-09T20:21:00.006-04:00

I'm totally excited (and a little scared) to announce HellCat Jewelry's next big adventure: a booth at the AmericasMart Atlanta June 2008 show. This is the largest apparel market on the East Coast. For four action-packed days, buyers descend upon the Mart from all over the world to peruse goods from hundreds - thousands! - of exhibitors.

And for the first time, HellCat Jewelry will be there. I'll be in Building #3 on the fourth floor in booth #111. Three HellCat chain mail necklaces will make an appearance in the accessories fashion show on Saturday, June 21. And there will be some HellCat lovin' in the accessories swag bags for 250 lucky buyers.

Happy shopping!

This is a temporary on-line studio while the official HellCat Jewelry website is under construction.

See something you like? Send me an e-mail with the item number and I'll get right back to you regarding the specifics of ordering.

Looking for something in a different color than what's pictured? Need bridesmaids' accessories? Searching for a one-of-a-kind gift for someone special? I welcome custom orders!

Looking for an excuse for a party? Get some friends together for a jewelry night! The party can be instructional: I bring supplies and provide a simple introduction to jewelry design (everyone leaves with at least one creation of their very own!). Or the party can be a shopping session: I bring the jewelry and set up a tabletop display and you and your friends shop (reminiscent of Tupperware parties of of yore).

HellCat Jewelry will be sold at the fabulous Inman Park Festival, April 26-27, 2008.

Check back often for new inventory.

New Stuff

2008-02-25T16:38:00.013-05:00

I haven't had time to photograph these pieces individually yet, but I wanted to get some pictures up of my newest designs. If you click on the pictures you'll get a larger (but, unfortunately, not much clearer) view. I promise I'll post better images soon!

Chain Mail is Here!

2008-02-25T14:15:00.011-05:00

During the bleak, dreary days of winter the Hell Cats and I hunkered down by the space heaters and whiled away the hours of darkness experimenting with new jewelry designs. My new favorite addiction is chain mail (or if you prefer, chain maille). Yep, just like the armor once worn into battle. There are tons of different patterns, types of metal, and patinas. I'm in the process of building up my stock of chain mail necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, but here's a taste of what's in store. As always, drop me an e-mail if you'd like to place an order or request a custom design.
