Vicky Mahnke Storybox Charms
I started making jewelry as a creative outlet, but it also became a way to share with others the joy I felt from the design process. I've always found book-boxes and matchbox dioramas so charming and I wanted to bring this concept into my packaging where there's a treasure box and the jewelry is the secret surprise inside. My Storyboxes are a combination of all of those things. There is intention and thought put into each and every one.
Finding inspiration in fabrics, patterns, color, illustration, nature and history I began creating my own jewelry as a hobby around 2017. I find beads beautiful, inspiring and unique in their own art form, and am able to tell a story with everything I make. The beads come from all over the world and many have their very own story to begin with.
I use an assortment of metals and findings to create with. I love vintage or repurposed beads, natural stones and crystals, Czech fired glass, Hand-made glass beads, and some acrylic and resin too. My collection includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, keycharms and wire-wrapped bead rings. I also make greeting cards (I call them Cutiecards) using the same materials I make the boxes with. I like to keep my designs affordable and unique.
I am also able to make custom designs or orders - just send me an email to: vicky@storyboxcharms.com with your ideas.
