Hi I'm Danielle
When it comes to my accessories, it's about a feeling or memory they remind me of. I believe that your jewelry makes a statement, is your armor, and shows a little bit of who you are before you even speak.
The main reason behind WBD is my #1 beach babe, Josie, my grandmother. She was a woman with very little means but "figured it out" when it came to her accessories. She had a love for the fun holiday pieces (IE: cat with a Santa hat and a matching brooch). She never cared what anyone else thought of her crazy, beautiful jewels because they represented her.
Washington Beach was also created for my love of unique and special jewelry. I wanted those pieces that I could wear all day and night but couldn't find. Josie eventually moved to solely clip on's because she had acquired a torn lobe and had to let go of some of her favorite pieces. With a few of my young friends also having the same issue, I knew there was a need. I wanted to create a solution so they could still wear any size or shape earrings without the weight.
Over 5 years later, I've now done shows all over New England, had my jewels featured on TV, made numerous kitschy holiday jewels that remind me of Josie, and have been able to connect with some amazing people who are bringing their own stories to my jewelry.
See you at the Beach...Washington Beach
Sunshine and Love from the Chief Beach Babe,
Danielle
