MY STORY
Hey friends! I'm Julie Dye, the owner and designer behind Blossom and Shine. I'm a Florida girl who recently traded the sunshine and palm trees of St. Pete for the rolling hills and changing seasons of upstate New York. From my home studio, I handcraft jewelry that's more than just bling—it's a reflection of you! From necklaces and earrings to bracelets and rings, each piece marries simplicity with a touch of sophistication. Let's dive into a world where your style meets my handmade designs!
My Mission: Keeping it Simple, Keeping it You
At Blossom and Shine, I'm all about crafting pieces that make you feel empowered and effortlessly stylish. I love forging sterling silver and 14k gold filled metals into modern shapes, adding unique details like hand-cut stones and hammered textures for that extra sparkle. I believe that your accessories should express your authentic self, instilling confidence and beauty.
Why I Do What I Do: A Story of Personal Discovery
A bit about me—I grew up surrounded by the joy of choosing meaningful jewelry with my mom and grandma. After art school, a stint in NYC, and plenty of creative experimentation, I launched Blossom and Shine in 2009 after moving to St. Petersburg, FL with my hubby.
Today, Blossom and Shine is where I combine my love of metalsmithing and modern design to create jewelry that feels like a little piece of your story. I find endless inspiration in the beauty of the mountains and the natural world around me in my new home in upstate NY, and I'm excited to bring that inspiration into this next chapter.
My Inspiration: Nature's Patterns and Everyday Magic
I find inspiration everywhere, especially in the patterns of nature and cool designs I stumble upon during my travels. Each piece I make tells a story inspired by the world around us, from the symmetry of a flower petal to the hustle and bustle of a cityscape.
