Yazmin’s journey into the world of jewelry started off with a search for chopsticks, of all things. Hunting around various arts and crafts stores she found herself drawn to bead shops; the rest, as they say, is history. From bracelets and earrings to necklaces and rings, she shows an amazing amount of versatility which makes browsing through her shop an absolute delight.

By and large, most of Yazmin’s pieces use lustrous gemstones and pearls set against sterling silver and gold. She admittedly likes “the good stuff” with a penchant for finding the most expensive items in any store, but consistently tries to price her own jewelry to be affordable; a quick tour through her store reveals that this is indeed the case. Some of her pieces are even made to order, which only adds to their value. Her shop, A Pretty Rock Jewelry, can be visited by clicking here; she’s also provided handy links for budget shoppers: Under $25 and $25-$45.
