So it started with. . .

So does everyone know the story of how Elisabeth Ashlie Jewelry started? No? Okay, I'll tell ya.

I (kate) had been eyeing a BEAUTIFUL necklace at Target for months(see above). MONTHS, I tell you. And it was expensive. After looking at it more closely one day, I thought, "I could totally make that". This happened to be at the same time that my sister was living with me (she was staying for a month while my husband was away on an internship for Engineering).

So, off we went. To Michael's, that is, and found all the necessary supplies to make the Target necklace. A few hours afterwards, the necklace was born. And this necklace was cherished. We quickly realized the joy and fun of making jewelry and the dream of Elisabeth Ashlie was born.

Neither Lauren nor I can remember the actual conversation that had to have happened regarding the start of our business, but before we knew it, we had about 20 items made (earrings, necklaces, rings) and were ready for our July 7th opening day!

Now, only a little over a month later, we have had the pleasure of creating unique and wonderfully priced jewelry for everyone. Many friends and family members have already purchased some of our creations, and we have also had a surprising amount of new customers find our Etsy shop and purchase something they loved.

As this process has continued, we've both enjoyed the ability to make "look-alike" jewelry. Here is an example of some of our creations:
