About Us

Kerry Best Designs

Jewelry. Happiness. Adventure. That’s what it’s all about.

If you don’t want the same jewelry everyone else is wearing, then you have found the right place!. I create jewelry that inspires happiness and enlightens and enriches the lives of women who trust their instincts, embrace individuality, seek the unexpected, and love their tribe.

Me? I just want to make pretty things even if nobody cares, and I love all things creative. Of course, all my young life, I heard “you can’t make a living as an artist”, so I went down the corporate rabbit hole. In 2014, I started this Etsy shop to help fund the art & jewelry habit that was keeping me sane. In 2024, though, following my parent's deaths, I have set out to do what I love full time. This will be an adventure, and I hope you can join me on this voyage.

I love all kinds of art forms and creating things - seriously ALL kinds of things - from crochet and clay to upcycling and recycling, I could go on. But I always come back to making jewelry, because I love it – and love even more when someone else loves it. It’s the highest compliment.

Many people say “you have to pick a niche or stick with one style”. I, however, find making the same thing over and over to be mind numbing, so I just go with my own style. I work with many different mediums (gemstones, metals, enamel, ceramics – don’t be surprised to see something crocheted in there, too), as well as combining different mediums and metal colors. While I might make something similar, no two pieces will be exactly alike, and many collections contain all one-of-a-kind pieces.

Annually, I make donations to several animal rescue and wildlife conservations
organizations, and I hope to grow Kerry Best Designs to be able to increase them every year - and donate to more organizations.

At the moment, Kerry Best Designs is a one-woman show. I handle everything from designing to sourcing materials and crafting each item by hand and shipping them out to their new homes.

My inspiration?

It almost always comes from the wonders of nature, drawing from the intricate patterns of leaves, the breathtaking hues of a sunrise, and the rich textures of landscapes. When inspired, I love nothing more than breathing new life into discarded treasures and everyday items and making quirky fun things.

Values of utmost importance:

Originality: Always aspire for the unexpected and unique, surprising customers with creativity.

Adventure: Embrace change and search for new ideas and challenges.

Integrity: Always honest, trustworthy and ethical in all things.

Quality: Strive for the highest quality at affordable price points.

Caring: A portion of proceeds donated annually to nonprofit animal rescue and conservation organizations

Exclusivity: I primarily offer limited edition and one of a kind pieces that cater to clients seeking unique and custom jewelry. No two pieces are exactly alike.

I’m perpetually pushing the boundaries of creativity, continually exploring new techniques, materials, and designs to keep my creations fresh, innovative and captivating. New collections are always in the works!

Since I’ve just recently gone all in, I’m in the process of building inventory and creating collections, and I’d love for you to join my inner circle for first peeks into new collections, pieces and adventures - and of course get feedback from you.
