Meet my friend and fellow entrepreneur Quinn Sharp; I think her jewelry is absolutely stunning and perfectly made for beach girls like me. (and you!) Quinn creates gorgeous, lightweight carefully hand-crafted pieces that allow the delicate jewels to flash in the sunlight. I promise you will love her jewelry as much as I do!
We both live and work in Half Moon Bay and have both been inspired to create businesses that reflect our lives by ocean, so it was a natural that we became friends. Quinn and I met on Instagram, of all places, and we now try to make a habit of meeting every month or so for "girl boss" talks and coffee (and maybe a few pastries...) in between our crazy business and family schedules. But, seriously, not only is my friend Quinn's handmade jewelry incredible, she is too.
Here's her story:
The beach is where I am most comfortable and feel most at home. Having grown up in the beach cities of Southern California, it's obvious where my love of the ocean began. It is where I go for peace, rejuvenation, and inspiration.
From
SoCal, I moved to the Hawaiian Islands and graduated from the University of Hawaii. I
met and married my husband who is Active Duty Coast Guard. I have been a Coast
Guard wife for 17 years and love our military life experiences and adventures! Being a military family, we constantly move every few years.
I found my
passion of jewelry design while we were stationed in Humboldt County, Northern
California. It began with a few basic jewelry making courses. I further
studied metalsmith for jewelry design at College of the Redwoods.
Each piece
is handmade and completely inspired by the ocean and elements of nature, where
the balance between mental, physical, and spiritual well-being come
together.
The landscape of the places, the people and cultures I have met along the way have greatly influenced my style of jewelry design. Military life has its challenges, and our family of five fully embraces the lifestyle, always taking advantage of the adventures that each new place brings us.
I hope you
are inspired by this free-spirited jewelry for the modern-day gypsy!
I confess.. I wear my Gold and Seafoam Tear Drop Hoop Earrings ALL of the time! They are so gorgeous and I get so many compliments every time I put them on.
