How did Brooklyn Grace Jewelry start?
Brooklyn Grace started about a year and a half ago, when I decided that my ‘hobby’ could in fact become a thriving business venture for me. The name was derived from a few different things; my middle name is Brooke, and my dad has always called me Brooker. So I thought it would be fitting to include Brooke in the name somehow. I think that everyone has their own Grace in the world so when I thought of the two names, Brooklyn Grace came about.

What type of things do you make?
I create jewelry – I love designing and making an idea come to life in a piece. I am really into the vintage inspired look, using lots of brass and gold components. I am getting into bead working and incorporating that into my new pieces. Metals can be so beautiful with a little pop of color! I have a signature technique where I wire wrap 3 beads on the end of my chain to close the necklace, it just adds that little bit of extra color and fun-ness!

What is your inspiration?
My inspiration comes from everyday life. I love the ocean, I love the beach, warm sunny days. I think that when I surround myself around happy people and create happy moments in my life, my creative side always comes out. I think that when you have your own grace and you make your own ‘fashion rules’ :: you can’t go wrong!

Where can we find your stuff (other than at our market)?
I am on the fantastic Etsy! www.brooklyngrace.etsy.com and two small boutiques. One in San Diego, Ca : Vocabulary; and one in Brooklyn, NY : Honey and Hazel. I would love to saturate the Seattle market, that is in the works now.

What are your social media properties and where can we find them?
I am online, Etsy.com.

Also, I am involved in an amazing production right now! Creative Live in Seattle is showcasing a wedding in the Seattle area and I am in charge of designing the beautiful jewels for the blushing bride and her ladies!
