My Story

What I Do

Hi, I'm Caroline, owner of Winged Flight Jewelry.

As a public librarian, I want everyone who walks in the library to feel comfortable to be themselves. As a jewelry designer, I love creating jewelry from high quality Czech glass beads and handmade polymer clay beads and pendants that enables people to joyfully express their unique personalities.

20% of every purchase is donated to causes that are meaningful to me, including education, local animal shelters, and environmental protection. Feel good knowing you're giving back to the community and the environment with every purchase.

 

Why I Do It 

I believe that jewelry should be more than just an accessory; it should be a reflection of your personal style, your passions, and your unique personality.

I named my handmade jewelry business Winged Flight Jewelry after being inspired by "Wind Over Wings" (an organization that ended in August 2017 due to its founder retiring after 29 years). Wind Over Wings rescued and cared for birds of prey who had permanent injuries and were unable to live in the wild. Each bird had his or her own story, and while the founder, Hope, presented their stories, I couldn't help but be amazed at the determination of these birds and the resilience of their spirits. Despite everything, these birds were truly authentic versions of themselves.

I hope my jewelry puts a smile on your face and lets you show off your authentic and awesome personality!

 

Who I Am 

I began jewelry making over 6 years ago, when my best friend got me a jewelry making starter kit as a gift. I started making beaded earrings as gifts and found I really enjoyed the process. I branched out into beaded necklaces and bracelets and enjoyed making those as well. I then discovered polymer clay and the magic of the mokume gane effect, which is a technique I continue to go back to years later.

The sky’s the limit when it comes to working with beads and polymer clay. I let the colors of beads and the colors of clay inspire my designs. I can't wait to see what my products remind you of and what stories you tell with them. I hope you radiate joy and embrace your authenticity!
