All the Who & How, and Why.
My name is Debbie, the person behind Crysallis Creations & CrysallisGEMs. Base at suburb of San Francisco. This whole venture started in 2003, due to lifestyle changes.
As someone who had always needed creative stimulation, along with love of jewelry and gems, I fully took advantage of my loccation - Hong Kong, as the portal to a world of gemstone & beads. Sourced directly from manufacturers, I was able to supply many distinct jewelry makers around the world, while create unique One-of-a-kind jewelry pieces out of these beautiful supplies that I've picked ou
As handmade jewelry artisan, we are always on the search for the unique material. While my passion for beautiful natural gems and mineral certainly played into my sourcing of these uniquely manufactured and in association of otherwise creative artists, I've found the beauty in those handmade lampwork glass. Each is a piece of art that's made by a skilled artisan!
I am a freeform wire artisan, that is IF one insist of defining style. I create my jewelry around the materials that I am focusing on. There is no "formula" with my pieces, in a nutshell, I "listen" to what I am working with. It is all about story-telling for me. Each piece has that soul of the piece, then created around into adornment..... sounds weird, but this is truly how my creative process. I never aimed at producing many. I need each piece out of my hand to tell a story, big or small. And this is why, when you support my work, they are truly OOAK, handmade with heart and soul, by me.
So naturally, alongside of making jewelry, sourcing supplies, I've later also added mineral specimen into my business. I see it as natural path really, for someone who had always been enthusiast for anything naturally created. But this is a whole other world out there with it! But boy did I fall hard! LOL!!
