The Green Monkey takes tremendous pride in supporting our local artists!

Kitty Wilcox - Custom Design Jewelry - Kitty’s interest and passion began by collecting Bedouin silver in the 1980’s.  While there, she studied with a gemologist and a designer learning assembly, balance, and design.  For the next twenty years Kitty continued collecting and teaching bead stringing.  Today, her designs reflect not only uniqueness but also a world of color and influence.  Each piece contains her trademark “cat”.  She uses sterling silver clasps and 22k gold or sterling findings for the earrings she designs.  Kitty’s love and passion for beads is reflected in each piece!

Deb Adair - Alters normal clothing by putting bright colored trims & combines other pieces.  Her collection is perfect for spring!

Handmade by Diana - Diana is a family nurse practitioner by day and a jewelry designer by night and weekends.  She was introduced into the art of jewelry making in 2005 when she needed to match a piece for a bridesmaid dress she was to wear in her sister’s wedding.  Not only did Diana custom design jewelry for herself, she also created the other bridesmaids and the bride’s pieces!  Diana then started making jewelry for bridal parties using Swarovski crystals, pearls and sterling silver.  She also made other casual pieces using colorful beads and stones.  www.handmadebydiana.artfire.com
