Hi Gorgeous!
I'm Rachel, the artist and jewelry designer behind Red Cheetah Jewelry.
I grew up in Germany, where I was surrounded by creativity. My father, a trained geologist and jewelry maker, 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?
What made me happy as a kid? Scouring flea markets for vintage jewelry. Then I'd redesign them. Don't worry, I left a little vintage in my pieces.
My natural ability to conceptualize designs turned into soldered action when I took a metalsmith class over 20 years ago. To this day, I'm amazed how a common shape with unexpected materials can turn into an organic everyday favorite. That's WHY you LOVE wearing small batch RED CHEETAH jewelry! I make it for YOU! Mucho Gracias for your support! xx, RACHEL
