FYF – DUO (GIVEAWAY)

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!!!!!

Welcome to another edition of Feature You Friday! Meet Laura Kim of Duo….

Hi there! My name is Laura Kim and I’m the designer behind the earrings at my shop, Duo. I have been living in Georgia with my husband for about three years now. I am an elementary art teacher by day and a jewelry maker by way of night. I’m a true Hoosier girl at heart who happened to fall in love with the beauty of stones at a very young age when my Dad took us to Rock & Gem shows.

I have been designing and selling jewelry online for well over 6 years. After about 4 years running my own jewelry website, I decided that I wanted to work at a slower pace and so I opened my Etsy storefront. I absolutely loved making necklaces and bracelets too, but I couldn’t keep up with the overhead of so many supplies. I couldn’t bear the thought of just giving up my love of jewelry making, so I decided to focus on earrings for the time being, because well, I just love them! Working with kiddos and art supplies all day long doesn’t really allow me to wear a lot of adornment, however, earrings I can do without much hassle! Plus, I’m just addicted to beads and baubles and have to get my hands working with them whenever possible. My Etsy shop has been a great place for me to run a small business where my handiwork can be appreciated while I stay connected to my customers that I have built up over the years. Plus, I have a great time networking with other Georgia artists.

My shop name, Duo, is just a reflection of the jewelry I make. Since I concentrate on creating earrings; duo: two objects of the same sort seemed to be the perfect name! I hope you enjoy browsing around and to say thank you…I am giving one lucky reader any pair of earrings (their choosing) priced at $15 or under. (This would make a great Mother’s Day gift!)
