My jewelry is always nickel-free and hypoallergenic

My jewelry is durable and created to withstand a lifetime
Collections
Be beautifully you.
Adornments as unique, radiant and as strong as you are. I create one of a kind, small batch, slow made jewelry pieces as well as curated items that spark joy for me and hopefully for you as well.
I enjoy making interesting jewelry and creating and curating many different styles in my collections. I have an eclectic style and love mixing up what I wear. I create a variety of styles, and hope that there is something for everyone! I like trends, but I find beauty in so many different fashion formulas when choosing pieces and mediums to work with.
Each of the various materials I choose for my handmade jewelry are tested for durability and each design is carefully crafted to withstand life. All ear wires and posts are nickel free and hypoallergenic, and safe for sensitive ears.
Many creations are made from laser cut cellulose acetate, a plant based bioplastic which is nontoxic and biodegradable.
The plants and flowers in my pieces are sourced locally in Sarasota from my garden or were locally grown by other small businesses. Sand, stones and foliage are all from our local beaches and parks.
I love creating resin jewelry, polymer clay jewelry, gold filled and sterling silver pendants, rings, bracelets and earrings.
Curating quality vintage jewelry is a passion of mine. I love the uniqueness and details of vintage and antique jewelry. I also enjoy repurposing pieces of vintage jewelry that may have been damaged to give the salvageable pieces new life.
I hope that you find items that bring you joy and give you all the feels!
Thank you so much for shopping with me and supporting my small business. Know that you are making a direct positive impact for my family by purchasing from me, and that you can count on me to directly help you with any questions you may have.
Towles Court Artist Studios, located in the historic Towles Court neighborhood of Sarasota, Florida, has become a vibrant hub for local artists and art enthusiasts.
Early History of Towles Court
Towles Court was originally a residential area developed in the early 20th century, with many of the buildings dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. The neighborhood's architecture reflects the early Mediterranean Revival style that was popular at the time, with a mix of cottages, bungalows, and small homes. In its early years, Towles Court was a quiet residential area, but as Sarasota grew and its arts community blossomed in the mid-20th century, the area began to attract artists, creative professionals, and those looking for a charming, bohemian atmosphere.
Transformation into Artist Studios
By the late 1980s and early 1990s, the area began to see a shift as Sarasota's arts scene continued to grow. The original houses and buildings in Towles Court started to be repurposed. The concept of converting the historic homes and buildings into artist studios was first proposed by local artists and community leaders who recognized the need for affordable and accessible creative spaces. This transformation was part of a broader movement within Sarasota to preserve its historic structures while also fostering a burgeoning arts community.
The Towles Court Artist Studios officially opened in the early 1990s, becoming a center for visual arts. Artists of various disciplines, including painters, sculptors, photographers, and mixed-media artists, moved into the area, making Towles Court a significant destination for art lovers in Sarasota.
Today
Today, Towles Court is a lively and thriving arts community, however it has changed in the past decade. Our small, walkable neighborhood is home to several artist studios, galleries, and shops and restaurants, but many of the former artist studios were sold off to become private residences. Our building at 1938 Adams Lane is one of the last historic buildings that is still a thriving artist community, and the area retains a charming, eclectic character. Here at Towles Court Artist studios, we host regular events such as art walks, and open our studios to the public, and other cultural happenings like exhibitions, festivals, and workshops.
