Tuscan Road Designs

Last Updated on Wednesday, 10 March 2010 11:13 Written by tuscanroad Saturday, 13 March 2010 09:08

Welcome to Tuscan Road Designs, where you will find unique, quality, handmade jewelry. For the person who appreciates the one-of-a-kind and unusual, this is the shop for you. My name is Holly. I have always enjoyed being creative and this creativity shows most in my jewelry. It all began with a trip to Murano, Italy. After touring the glass and bead factories on this island, I was hooked. Upon returning home, I promptly signed up for a Lampwork class at the local glass store to learn how to make my own beautiful beads. I then taught my teenage son how to do it, and that became a great bonding time for us. After numerous mistakes and many successful beads later, I decided to start incorporating them into my jewelry designs, thus the beginning of Tuscan Road Designs. I love to work with color and texture, Swarovski Crystal and the natural beauty of Semi Precious Gemstones. Many of my pieces have an eclectic, asymmetrical style. My aim is not to follow the trends, but to create unique collectible jewelry pieces that are timeless and can be worn for years. My inspirations come from nature, architecture, Old World icons…..and especially the world around me as I have seen it from numerous travels. I am consistently inspired, always keeping my eyes open for the unique and beautiful bead or idea to incorporate into my designs. This is part of what makes them so unique and special. Metals used are Sterling Silver, Bali Silver, African Silver, Gold Fill, Copper and Brass. Tuscan Road was born as a vehicle to allow me to showcase these special designs so others may enjoy them as much as I enjoy creating them. So browse away and have fun. You can visit me at the following locations:
