My Etsy journey started back in July of 2008. I started by creating wood burned bangles with fun phrases; hand-painted and lacquered they were so fun to create! Unfortunately, living in an apartment during Ohio winters, lacquering became a tedious task. So, I retired my bangles and began to create vintage inspired jewelry at www.lailee.etsy.com. I loved the romantic, feminine vibe of vintage jewels, rose cabochons and antiqued brass and copper findings. A while later I found a new love -- hand stamped jewelry! At that time I created www.silverfawnstudio.etsy.com. My maiden name, "Briedis" means "Stag" in Latvian (where my father is from) and I felt a definite connection to deer/fawns. Later, with a push from my mom, I began making Hebrew hand-stamped jewelry at www.jewishgirldesigns.etsy.com. Now, I know what you are going to say...three shops? You're right! It began to get a little crazy. So, that is where you find me now! I have shut down Lailee (my first baby) and have merged Silver Fawn Studio & Jewish Girl to create Sarah Fewell Handcrafted---your one stop shop from me, the artist, for hand stamped, hand crafted, sterling silver, fine silver and 14k gold fill jewelry! This blog is here to give you an easy place to find info on sales promotions & giveaways, new items & my favorites from the world of handmade! If you have any questions, comments, etc. please feel free to contact me. I love custom orders and will do my best to accommodate you! Cheers!
