This Up & Coming Jewelry Designer is a Gem: LILY CLASPE JEWELRY

The Website liliclaspe.com is beyond unique.  The designs offered in it are either one-of-a kind or small-production runs.  Purchase of one of the pieces will guarantee you something special.  What I like most about this site is that it is very affordable, and I love affordable luxuries.

Check the site often, as the founder and designer, Stephanie Tchamanian, updates the site with her latest designs.  Her designs have a touch of ethereal and touch of warrior. 

I love her story too -- it's heart-warming, and I wish her much success.  (I just hope she keeps the prices down when she makes it big.)  Stephanie Tchamanian named her jewelry line after her sister Lisa, who passed away in 2004.  That same year, her father passed away.  At only 17, Stephanie had to " grow up quickly and learn to live on my own."  She worked in accounting, until she decided to attend FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) in 2008.  After her education, she went to work at Nordstrom as a Stylist.  Unable to afford the beautiful accessories she wanted to style her outfits with, she decided to create her own, and ended up selling her designs from the trunk of her car after her shifts.  From there, Staphanie states, "LILI CLASPE was born."  

I find her story so amazing and inspiring!!!

The following are some of her designs.

LILY CLASPE JEWELRY is truely one to watch out for.  I hope Stephanie Tchamanian's wildest dreams come true.
