What is your shop?
Kat Lambrix Jewelry (http://katlambrix.etsy.com)

What is your art/craft?
I make fine jewelry with Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones and sterling silver. I do a bit of custom work, much of it for brides, and enjoy this type of collaboration with my customer the most!

Describe your style in 2 words:
Refined sparkle

What is your favorite piece and why?
I am loving my Pink Urchin Necklace right now - it was the first piece from my new Stacks collection, with the inspiration drawn from sea creatures and organizational systems. This necklace was the first in the collection and I struggled with the structure, but when it came through I was thrilled.

What is the most memorable piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Stop looking at other jewelers! My husband is an artist, and his advice has always been to look to nontraditional sources for inspiration.

What is the one piece of advice you’d give?
Don’t limit your materials to what you find in the jewelry supply store. Look everywhere and innovate with things you never thought could be used for jewelry!
