About the Designer

Designer and proprietor, April Vanderbilt, has degrees in Anthropology, Graphic Design, Art and Business Marketing. April's jewelry-crafting skills were acquired through formal classes and creative experimentation. Inspired by both Baroque and modern jewelry design, she enjoys combining colors that are pleasing to the eye -- sometimes subtle and sometimes bold. April continues to take classes in beading, chain, and metal working techniques.
