ABOUT GLYNIS

"Well…it
all began when my grandmother let me look through her big
jewelry box when I was a young girl. She had an
enormous collection of costume jewelry which was part of her
daily wardrobe. She would open it up on her bed and I would
sit for hours looking through it. Of course she had a
smaller box on her vanity that was locked & off limits, but
somehow I was satisfied with the BIG one. It was like
the ultimate treasure chest; I was mesmerized. It was
filled with multi-strands of beads, brooches with matching
earrings, slide bracelets and more. I felt like a
princess each time I tried them on.
When I began designing jewelry, my
grandmother was one of my first customers and my biggest
fan. Even though she is no longer with us today, I
still feel her presence when
I am inspired to create. Each necklace is a design of the
moment and one-of-a-kind. My gift to you is the
matching set of earrings. I hope you feel as special wearing
them as I did when wearing hers."
