Crystal Wave
My first jewelry business. ♡ Crystal Wave, Northfield, VT (09/87 – 02/93)
Who doesn’t love minerals and crystals?
It started mostly with making crystal jewelry. After all, who doesn’t love minerals and crystals!? My focus was on utilizing raw, unpolished crystals without any glue. 😉
I mostly fabricated earrings, pendants, bracelets, rings, and pins for wholesale and consignment to craft galleries and retail shops in VT, NH, and MA. This meant occasionally taking road trips to call on craft galleries and retail shops in Vermont and New Hampshire. I rather enjoyed traveling and meeting people.
Many of the pieces were one-of-a-kind.
I love the round silver box! I only made one… The gold bracelet was entirely from 14KY scrap. I’ll have to explain that later!
Group Shots
One sunny day in the summer of 89′ I decided to throw a bunch of sand on a sheet on the floor to take pictures. I put out most of what I had in inventory. It’s a good snapshot of what I was doing at the time. It’s a mixture of one-of-a-kind and wholesale items.
Crystal Jewelry
Crystals galore!
