Designing and selling jewelry has been a dream of mine for years, but just recently became a reality. After marrying my high school sweetheart, I moved to Juneau, AK and found myself friendless, jobless and teetering on the brink of weather-induced insanity- all within the confines of a 600 square foot house… So, I did what any girl in my situation would do: crafts. More specifically, jewelry.

Thankfully, I’m back in the big city of Anchorage and my rainy day craft has turned into a full time job. I’m even fortunate enough to have a lovely little studio at home where I can work while also doing a couple loads of laundry…

I work with an assortment of precious metals (copper too!) and all kinds of different gemstones, crystals and pearls. I’m in love with turquoise, but seem to fall for a new stone with every order. As an artist I work hard to make sure each piece is properly constructed, wearable and, well, awesome.

White Horse Designs was inspired by one of my favorite bible verses- Revelation 19:11 - and my somewhat childish love for princesses and all things royal!
