Angie Pinkal

I'm a very creative person. And my mantra "I Live to Create...I Create to Live..." explains it best. I'm a very creative person. I have to create!

I've been making jewelry seriously since 2007. As a pre-teen and teenager I loved making friendship bracelets with embroidery thread. Later on, I moved on to making hemp jewelry when it was the fad.

As an artist, period, I am inspired by nature and everything around me. I love trying new things and new color schemes.

Gypsy Garden Earrings

I like to think of myself as a little bit gypsy, and that inspired these earrings. I used sterling silver, which I dipped in liver of sulfur before construction to give it a nice patina finish. I used purple, red, and topaz Swarovski crystals for the beads. These earrings hang 3.25″.
