About
Hi Gorgeous!
I'm Rachel, the artist and visionary behind Red Cheetah Jewelry.
I don’t need to tell you that jewelry celebrates your individuality! You know that!! You choose handmade over mass-produced boredom any day!
My pieces are meant to give you the “punch” you so deserve. A good punch, mind you! The exclamation punch that allows you to show off your individuality. You get it…jewelry puts a smile on your face and transforms your day! You love jewelry that gives you simplicity with a twist. Not only that, but you refuse to blindly follow trends, and value small batch handcrafted jewelry.
My passion and curiosity for jewelry has always "just been there." I made my first necklace at age 8 with heart-shaped beads (red beads, of course.) As a child, I scoured flea markets for vintage jewelry, only to take the pieces home and redesign them. Ever since I remember, I created designs in my head (I wish I could remember most of them.) I grew up in Germany, surrounded by creativity. My father, a trained geologist and jewelry maker, himself, taught me the remarkable details of gemstones and metals. To this day he cuts agates and facets stones. He can identify about 99.9% of all stones. Pretty cool, huh?
20 plus years ago, I took a metalsmith class and turned my natural ability to conceptualize designs into soldered action. My interior design background/experience not only helps with color, scale, texture, patterns, it reminds me that I create for YOU. Get the jewelry punch you need!
