I started making jewelry as gifts for friends, the bridesmaids in my wedding, and then myself (check out my hawt DIY wedding jewelry!) I started to wear my creations out and about, was asked repeatedly for a business card... and that eventually happened enough that I finally got the picture and started a business.

Nearly five years later, Spiffing Jewelry has grown into a full-time job and flourishing business, selling worldwide on Etsy, and here on our own website, and employing not just myself, but my husband Nick, and my three best friends.

Nick runs his own Etsy shop, TheStrikingViking selling his photography, hand drawn greeting cards and left-handed movie scenes (which are hilarious, since he's right-handed!)

Cortnie runs her own business, too, Cortnie Dee Photography. She's seriously multi-talented!
