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.
