Connie Mayer was born and raised on a farm in northern Michigan with seven siblings. She currently lives with her husband and two cats Curley and Moe, in southeastern Michigan. I guess you could say she comes by her creative gift naturally. Her father was a well-known wood carver and many aunts and uncles also are very artistic.

Her background was in fashion retailing; selling, management and buying and also interior design. Unable to continue working for many years, battling the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome, she looked for something she could do at home in her own time. It took one visit to a friend in Kansas, who was also designing jewelry at the time, and she was hooked. Since recovering from her illness this has become her passion. Knowing she can’t possibly wear everything she creates herself, she decided to share her designs with all of you.

Connie’s custom designed jewelry pieces are a unique combination of style, shape and texture. She especially enjoys working with Bali sterling silver and blending silver and gold together, bringing out the basic beauty of the crystals, stones and precious metals. She keeps her designs classic and timeless which is a reflection of herself.

Connie has been actively involved with interacting and educating others suffering from the ravages of chronic fatigue syndrome. A very misunderstood but real illness, it changes every aspect of your life. She also helps out annually with the Ribbons of Pink Foundation, a non-profit organization educating young women about breast cancer, started by the daughter of her long-time friend in Kansas who was diagnosed at age 27, four years ago.
