I think it’s been awhile since we’ve had a jewelry shop featured so I’m very happy to introduce June Shin as this week’s Etsy Adore feature. Make sure after you’ve read the interview, you enter the giveaway!

Please, introduce yourself and your shop.
I’m June Lee and am a jewelry designer selling under my maiden name, June Shin. I feel that can be a little confusing, but since I already started selling under June Shin, I thought it would be easier to keep it so. The pieces I design are frequently described as delicate, dainty and feminine. I like to mix semiprecious stones, fresh water pearls and swarovski crystals with Sterling Silver, Gold filled and brass metals.

How did you get started making jewelry?
I wanted to do something creative and make things with my own hands, so while I was living in NYC, I enrolled in a metalsmithing class at the YMCA. It was hard, but I really enjoyed it. When I moved to Atlanta, I had a lot of free time, so I decided to teach myself how to make jewelry using bead and wire. It just kind of took off from there.

What is your favorite item in your shop?
I would have to say that my favorite is the Luxe Garnet Hoop earrings. It’s not as dainty as my usual designs and red is my favorite color.

Just for fun, what is favorite flavor of ice cream?
Chocolate. I always order chocolate ice cream.

Name 3 favorite Etsy shops!
Wow, that’s hard to name just 3, but they are, just picked at random:
MichelleChangJewelry
tmStudioDesigns
Spazzy

June will be giving one lucky winner their choice of item $25 or less from her shop!

To enter:

Go to June Shin and take a look around the shop.

Come back here and comment with the name or link to your favorite item.

To get extra entries: blog or twitter about this contest and leave a link to it in a separate comment. (And don’t forget to follow me! @jamielovely)

Anyone with a valid email address can enter. You don’t have to have a blog.

The winners will be chosen using the integer generator on random.org and notified via email.

Get your entries in by Sunday, November 1st at 11:59PM and you’re in!

Don’t forget to subscribe to our feed! You’ll be the first to hear about all the great giveaways and features going on!
