How It All Began...
I first began making hand stamped jewelry in 2003 just for myself and as gifts for friends and family, stamping metal keys and washers and combining them with pearls and beads to make them more feminine. Soon I ventured into sterling silver and that was it...I fell in love with the look and feel of it and that was that.
Soon business blossomed and I started, quite literally,
selling the very pieces I was currently wearing...the very first to a woman I had never
met but was in line with at the market.
And so, Bella Michele Jewelry continued to grow (with a lot of prayer!) and now helps to keep me out of trouble. That's always a good thing!
As
for me...Michele, I am a wife and a mom to a houseful of boys. I love
anything and everything old...classic movies, lived-in homes, vintage jewelry. Basically, I love
anything with character and a story behind it...of a time and place where life seemed a little bit simpler.
My jewelry reflects
that 'all things old' feel that I love so much. Browse around and you'll see what I mean...and let me know what you think!
