Welcome!

My name is Sandy Sanchez and I design and craft the pieces that you see on this website. Even though I have a Science Degree and love science, I have always been an arts and crafts lover. I have practiced different crafts including painting, drawing, ceramics, cross-stitch, t-shirt making and others but, it wasn't until a couple of years ago when I moved to San Francisco, California, that I found my favorite kind of craft: Jewelry Making. I absolutely fell in love with it from the moment I tried it. I realized that the idea of making jewelry, which actually matched my outfits, was fascinating. More fascinating though, was putting the whole "puzzle" together and "playing" with all the tools, beads, stones, and wires.

Very soon, my collection grew out of control, and I started to send jewelry to family and friends, as christmas and birthday gifts. It was their praise that gave me the confidence to share my work with others...thus the creation of this website. On it, you will find most of the jewelry and bookmarks that I've created, which are mostly limited in quantity or one-of-a-kind items.

In addition to semi-precious stones, you will find: Pearls, horn, wood, coral, glass, crystal, plastic and shell beads in my pieces. I put them together using stringing wire, sterling silver wire, ribbons, suede, leather, or silk cords. Although there are pictures and descriptions of the pieces in the website, the colors may look different depending on the monitor settings being used. Be aware that no two pieces are exactly alike. Because of their nature, a lot of stones like ocean jasper, can vary in color a little or a lot. If you would like to see additional pictures, don't hesitate to ask for them.

All of my jewelry is made with lots of love and care. Some are casual and some are elegant, but in my eyes, they all have personalities of their own. Some pieces are shy, modest, and delicate, while others are flamboyant, bright, and bold. In any case, I hope you find something you love and can share with others, as well. If you can't seem to find what you are looking for, or have your own idea of a piece for that special day or gift, send me an email at info@sandysanchezdesigns.com with your suggestions, and I will gladly help you.

Have a great shopping experience!

Cheers,
Sandy Sanchez
