I have always had a love for design, fashion and creating what comes naturally. I started designing jewelry at a young age, creating pieces taken from vintage purses, jewelry and anything I could take apart and repurpose.
Prior to starting my own business, I studied Merchandise Marketing and Fashion Design. During that time I worked in retail for 30 years in a broad range of roles, including Apparel and Accessories Buyer, Regional Merchandise Manager and Store Management for nordstrom.
I Truly loved what I did but decided to make the tough decision to leave retail. My passion for jewelry design and the desire to create unique pieces that no one else had is why I started Amanda Brooks Jewelry.
the design and metal smithing process is my daily therapy and Being at my workbench is my happy place. My mission is to create one-of-a-kind jewelry that is versatile, Classic and timeless. THe biggest joy in my process is when a customer tells me they Love their piece and want to wear it all the time! THat is what keeps me designing and creating. I draw inspiration from nature as well as where my travels take me.
All Amanda Brooks Jewelry pieces are handmade and hand-fabricated using raw materials and made one piece at a time. Since EVERYTHING is made SoleLy by me, please keep in mind the process takes a bit longer to FABRICATE.
Fabricated using sterling silver and 14K gold fill, with accents of semi-precious stones, My pieces parallel organic textures, shapes and color combinations. my organic design process allows my signature, free-form shapes to come to life.
Iām passionate about creating unique, pieces that can be worn alone or layered in multiple ways so you can get more wear out of each piece.
