DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: Accessoreads: Literally and Historically Inspired Jewelry

Lauren, Owner of Accessoreads, creates beautifully funky cuffs and bangles from bronze and other metals. Her work speaks for itself... each product is inspired by classic books and historical references. Each piece is impeccably designed, completely unique, and perfect for holiday gift-giving. 

 "In college I studied art and history, and I am a complete Anglophile which you will see reflected in my designs! Combining my love of books and art into my work is something I love to do and I hope that I can continue this for many years to come!"

-Lauren 

"I've always been an artist and crafter, but when I discovered Etsy in 2010 I began thinking that I could take my passion to the next level. I have made wire jewelry for awhile now, but I decided I wanted to make something more unique and started to play with printing on leather. After months of trial and error, I came up with a great process to make my unique leather jewelry so I opened up shop in July 2012. Now, I work more with brass as it is more durable."

-Lauren
