MEET JEWELRY DESIGNER ERIN MCDERMOTT
| Hi guys….meet Erin McDermott…..when I received an email from Erin a couple of weeks ago….well, I had to do my ‘happy dance’…not only is she AMAZINGLY talented….her jewelry designs are gorgeous…so modern…so stylish….so chic….and I was totally blown away to find that she’s located in Charlottesville, VA……local talent….YAY!!!!!!! I am so happy to have her stop by the cafe and visit with us today….I asked Erin to share a little bit about ‘Erin’ with us…let’s check out what she had to say….
‘I graduated in 2006 from the University of Virginia, receiving a Masters in Elementary Education and Bachelors in Studio Art. While at UVA, I studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. There, I took jewelry design classes and fell in love with the process of creating jewelry. I use semi-precious stones, sterling silver, organic forms, textures, glass, freshwater pearls, wood, and unique materials to create my jewelry. These materials help to create jewelry, which is classic but also modern and unique. I love creating jewelry for weddings. I work with the bride and/or wedding party to design and craft unique pieces that work well with the line of the dresses and give off a funky but classy look. Afterward, the jewelry can be worn everyday or keep it for a special occasion.’ |

| I love these black onyx and gold earrings…I know we all have something in our closets that would be perfect with these! |
 |
| Erin says she has been inspired by long and delicate designs that can be worn and layered with other necklaces….I love these and I am so ordering one!! |
 |
| AND….of course Erin wouldn’t stop by the cafe and not offer a chance for one lucky TBC reader to win one of her beautiful designs…..that’s right, guys you have a chance to win this freshwater pearl necklace on a sterling silver snake chain….and it’s a great choice because it goes with everything and you can really dress it up (if you’d like).
All you have to do is head over to Erin’s site and check out her collection and come back to TBC and leave a comment letting me know your favorite piece….winner to be announced on Friday morning…so get to getting and have fun guys…don’t you just love TBC’s giveaways….and check back later to see who’s stopping by the cafe…….xoxo |
