About Me

Welcome to Kerry Best Designs: Crafting Meaning, Embracing Creativity

Hello and welcome! I'm Kerry, the heart and hands behind Kerry Best Designs.

For over a decade, crafting meaningful, personalized keepsake jewelry has been my passion. It started as a hobby alongside my marketing career, a way to connect with creativity and help others celebrate precious moments, honor loved ones, or find a little strength through supporting symbols, stones, saints and more.

An Exciting Evolution...

While jewelry remains a core part of my creative expression, I'm thrilled to share that Kerry Best Designs – me –  is embarking on an exciting evolution! I've always felt a deep pull towards various forms of art – crochet, painting, sewing, clay, writing, and more. Now, I'm intentionally exploring that broader creative spirit.

My vision is taking shape: starting in 2026, I plan to transition fully into my studio, dedicating my days to creating as a full-time multimedia artist. Imagine a space filled not only with jewelry makings but also fiber arts, pens, paints, canvas, fabrics, yarn... I could go on.

The Journey (2025)

This year and next are pivotal times of preparation and rediscovery. I'm diving deep into my creative process, exploring new mediums, and challenging myself to grow. I'm currently working through the book "The Creative Ambush" to break down barriers and unlock that artistic kid I used to be – a journey I'm documenting on my blog. (Although, I only sell on Etsy right now, I do want to build this site out next year when I get rolling)

What This Means for You & The Shop

During this transition, you can still expect the same heartfelt jewelry and personalized service from my Etsy shop . I cherish creating pieces that resonate with your stories, whether it's adapting a current design or collaborating on something completely unique ("something specific, unique or even to match a specific outfit").

You might also start seeing a few new, different handcrafted treasures pop up in the shop as I experiment and explore! It's all part of the adventure.

Thank you for being here, whether you're a long-time supporter or new to Kerry Best Designs. I'm so grateful to share this journey of creative unfolding with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or ideas for a special piece.
