Shelly's Story
Shelly grew up in Colorado, lived in Santa Fe, NM, and moved to southern California as a teenager. She worked at a lot of different startup companies in the San Francisco Bay Area where she spent many years working for companies like Mansfield Systems, Auspex, BayStone, Remedy Corporation, & Peregrine Systems.
Shelly is currently living back in the rocky mountains of colorado and has her own company called "stone" designing contemporary one-of-a-kind jewelry.
Shelly has designed and created jewelry since she was a young child. Her first jewelry gallery show was at the age of 18. She is a recent honors graduate of Laguna College of Art and Design. When Shelly¿s not traveling around the world, she spends her time in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

001, Shelly quit her job as Creative Services Manager to go on a year-long trip around the world. The jewelry in the Stone collection was inspired by that trip. The sterling silver & copper jewelry incorporates stones she hand selected, or in some cases had custom carved for her, on her journey. Today Shelly buys many of her stones directly from the miners in Colorado and enjoys cutting, polishing and doing the lapidary work herself.
Shelly travels to the tropical island of Bali, in Indonesia, several times a year where she works side-by-side with many talented metal smiths and their families in remote villages to produce her one-of-a-kind pieces. A purchase of stone jewelry helps booster the economy and well being of the recently hard-hit Balinese people.
