Today's chic jewelry interview is with the fabulous designer, Kristy Smith of Shiny Adornments. I asked Kristy to share with us a bit about how she got started, her inspirations and her goals.I discovered creating my own sterling and gemstone jewelry a bit over a year ago. There is just something about taking simple silver wire and creating swirls and coils and wraps that calls to me. Plus, any time one can whack something with a hammer has to be considered a bonus. I love combining sterling silver and various stones to create little colorful works of art that I can wear on my wrist...and ears and neck. I'm a geek at heart and moved the entire enterprise online pretty quickly, with an etsy store front as a logical first endeavor.
I find inspiration in the wildflowers I drove past this morning on the way to work or the suit I just
bought that needs the perfect accessory or the strange dream I had last night. I am also inspired by art and color. I like jewelry that makes a statement. My goal is to create wearable items for work and play that offer an interesting statement about the women who wear them.

Thanks so much for the write up about my work.
