Erika's Jewels Designs by Erika Salumbides: Candy Rhinestone Badge

Personal Bio:

Hello! My name is Erika :) I graduated from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona with a Bachelors of Science in Biology. Currently, I am attending an accelerated program to be a Registered Nurse. My ultimate career goal is to get my masters as a Nurse Practitioner! I love science, as much as I love art. And when I have the free time I love to work on my jewelry, drawings, paintings, and much more. I am a natural born artist at heart.

I started making jewelry a few years ago, and stopped for a while because my life got too busy. But when my mom got sick I had to drop out of school for one quarter from college. With free time on my hands and worrying about my mom (she had a massive stroke in her midbrain) I started making my jewelry again...

Making jewelry has always been a great passion for me. It was therapeutic and helped me throughout the stress in my life. Through the ups and down of my life I always found the time to sit down and make a piece from anything that inspired me.

You will find that all of my pieces tell a story, created from an inspiration from the world around me. Making my jewelry is like creating a piece of beautiful painting, sculpture, and drawing. It is creating a piece of artwork from a blank naked canvas, and seeing your work transform beautifully in front of your very own eyes.

Just like any piece of artwork, every piece in my store tells a story...
