Thank you to Corrie at InMetalJewelry for donating this beautiful piece today. 

None of her pieces are tumbled to retain the natural grain of the break

Let's get to know her....

Upcycling is not a trend for Corrie, she is very passionate about the environment due to her parents influence.

“My parents are very environmentally conscious and love the outdoors. Since I was little we would go camping and spent a great deal of time enjoying nature. Fortunately, they instilled in me a kindness for all creatures and an awareness of how we impact the planet.”

“So, I've always had it in me and have always looked for ways to enlighten others not only about conservation and the things they can do to help, but to the joys of it as well. Beauty can come from upcycling! I try to make my pieces a testament to that.”

Corrie’s shop has only been up and running for a few months, and she has had a little difficulty figuring out all the ins and outs of Etsy!

“There are so many pieces to the Etsy puzzle- promoting and figuring out SEOs and perfecting photography and tags and descriptions and on and on.”

Corrie has found setting small goals and focusing on specific area at a time has helped her maintain a positive attitude and more forward improving her shop.

Even though there has been a transition from person to person sales and online sales Corrie’s husband has been her main source of encouragement to not give up and to maintain perspective.

“I love him for that!”

  

Corrie loves creating jewelry because she loves wearing jewelry!

“I love big statement pieces and sometimes it's hard to find what I like. I have also been branching out with other items like sun-catchers and keep a look out for items like keychains, mobiles, who knows what else!”

This is the gorgeous piece Corrie is giving away today!
