About Me

About Me: 

 

Hello and welcome to Links and Layers! 

While not completely twist-free, the unique connection helps shorter layering chains fall above or below the base chain, since everything is attached to one chain instead of wearing multiple separate chains that tangle more easily.

I’m a full-time hospice nurse with 30 years of experience caring for others, but I’ve always had a creative side that fuels my passion. For 13 years, I owned a boutique where I sold clothes, monogrammed items, and gifts. While running the boutique, I also designed jewelry on and off and discovered how much I loved creating unique pieces for my customers.  

In 2023, I sold my boutique, thinking it was time to focus on other parts of my life. But something felt missing. I realized how much I missed the creative process, planning content for social media, and running a business. That’s when Links and Layers came to life.

This year, I was proud to secure a utility patent for a jewelry innovation that makes layering necklaces interchangeable with less twisting solving a common frustration for jewelry lovers! While this design is a core part of my work, I also enjoy creating a variety of other pieces that blend beauty with functionality.

My goal is to offer high quality jewelry using materials like 14k gold filled and sterling silver, ensuring longevity and elegance.

As a mom to grown children and a grandmother to six, family is incredibly important to me. While my kids are all grown, I still prioritize making time for them and cherishing the moments we share. Now that my days of hands on mothering are behind me, I’m able to focus on balancing my nursing career with my love for jewelry making and running my small business.

Thank you for supporting my handmade creations. I’m honored to share my passion with you, and I hope you find something here that brings you joy!

Gratefully,

Andrea
