Hey Friends!
I'm Rachel. I'm the artist and visionary behind Red Cheetah Jewelry.
If you're anything like artsy jewelry fanatics, you choose handmade over mass-produced boredom any day. No more assembly line dull drums. Creative, original and one-of-a-kind Red Cheetah jewelry gives you the connection we so all deserve and need.
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. Most of all, I love creating and designing jewelry that looks amazing on you!
Welcome to the tribe!
