weddings and special events and private estates: Gianna's Pick of the Week

I am really fortunate to meet some of the most talented people because of my line of work. My client, Victoria Collier and I met for the first time a few weeks ago at a coffee shop in La Cresenta.

Victoria was wearing a very cool butterfly bracelet on her wrist.

While we were talking about her upcoming wedding and getting to know one another, a lady sitting near us asked where she could purchase the bracelet. Victoria explained that she made the bracelet.

I was curious to find out more about her jewelry. Victoria is a lovely person inside and out, plus she is very talented. If you would like to purchase any of her creations, please contact her at vcollier9@gmail.com

GP - When did you get started?

VC - I have been designing accessories and reinventing clothing since I was 8 years old.

VC- My mother was always wearing cameos and painting beautiful butterflies when I was a child. I love to take different textures and materials and create unique ways of putting them together. I use everything from beads, metals, fabrics, pearls, champagne tops, feathers, vintage and estate sale jewelry. I like to use the rosary in some of my pieces. I really enjoy creating new treasures.
