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 |
