Jewelry by Shannon Leigh

I’ve been a designer of various crafts — quilts, embroidery, beading — for over 25 years. Over five years ago I was introduced to the art of jewelry design and have used my other craft influences to develop into a unique designer.

Inspired by semi-precious beads, stones, and metals, each piece of my jewelry is one-of-a-kind. Even if requested to make piece that is similar to another, each is a little different. Balance of color, texture, and shapes are important to me. Designs range from chunky to delicate, with pearls mixed with other semi-precious stones being my personal favorite.

I enjoy creating in a variety of styles and welcomes custom orders, to allow for a further unique experience. My pieces are currently being displayed in several locations in Florida and custom orders have been sent throughout the U.S., as well as internationally. My work is being featured in multiple issues of national beading magazine, Bead Trends, beginning in July and will be the Featured Designer in the December ‘09 issue! I create jewelry part-time (after my full-time job) in Orlando, Florida with my husband and 2 Pekingese dogs.
