How I got started?
At the beginning of 2011, I decided to really get serious about building a business. I Loved to design and create jewelry from old vintage pieces I found in estate sales and antique stores. A name became a problem. That is when I decided to use the names of my two deceased daughters. I played with combinations until I found one that was unique & not being used anywhere else. "MyCarolAnne" was born & was finding a place in the real world of Artisan Jewelry. Carol passed of cancer & Anne passed in an auto accident. I still have one daughter living with her husband, 5 grand-children, & 10 great-grand-children. In 2019 I was forced into bankruptcy where I lost everything I had built with MyCarolAnne, so I decided to lay my daughters away in peace. Changed my business name to Jewelry by Sande Gene, hosted it on Shopify, & began all over. I still use vintage, re-purposed & recycled materials to save as much vintage, old jewelry from destruction as possible. This also guarantees each piece is unique as these materials are not replaceable. I am expanding my learning to seed bead newer creations and all of the wonderful exciting possibilities that these beads offer. And, using fishing line to create my seed bead jewelry, also makes them ‘water-proof’.
Jewelry by Sande Gene is a one family, in home, on-line, WEBSITE business. No smoking, one cat. Every piece is professional finished before shipping. We want every item to shine when it arrives. Thank you
