About Jewelry Designer Zurina Ketola - Jewelry Design Philosphy.

	{about zurina}
			During a serendipitous visit to a Portland gem shop five years ago, Zurina passion for jewelry design was ignited. Instantly mesmerized by the natural beauty of the stones, she embarked on her creative journey as a jewelry designer. Zurina's thoughtfully designed and meticulously handcrafted work is produced with timeless versatility in mind, transcending the momentary whims of fashion. Drawing inspiration from cultures, time periods, and nature, this young designer is just beginning to make her mark in the world.
	{about the jewelry}
	All designs are made with materials that are meticulously hand-picked for quality and craftsmanship. Our designs are constructed from various items including semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls, precious metals and glass beads. All of our handcrafted jewelry is made with gold-filled or sterling silver components unless otherwise noted. Jewelry should be an expression of individuality - which is why every piece of jewelry on the site is crafted in extremely limited quantities or one-of-a-kind. We hope you have as much fun wearing your lovely new jewelry as we had making it!
