Wandering Y Designs

Specialties

I design and make one-​of-​a-​kind jewelry using natural and repurposed materials from all over the world. I do custom work for clients looking for that unique and personalized piece as well.

Most recently, I have also began working with leather and vintage textiles in making one-​of-​a-​kind leather goods, including bags, clutches, and pillows.

History

Established in 2013.

Originally working from home– having converted a second bedroom into my studio– I quickly realized the importance of having a storefront location for my customers to come in and «shop around» to find their perfect piece.

Meet the Business Owner

Yvonne S.

Business Owner

Growing up in West Virginia, with 200 acres of horse farm to ride around on, it was hard knowing where you might find me.

Early on, I had a desire to not only see the world, but to learn from and embrace it. This desire only grew after my first solo trip abroad at the age of 14. After studying in Paris in my twenties, my love of different cultures and their history began to influence my ideas on design and aesthetic as well.

Having always been a free spirit when it came to fashion, the idea for making my own pieces arose simply out of that wanderlust spirit. Never finding quite what I was looking for, the work ethic I was raised with kicked in gear and I decided to just start making things myself. When people started wanting to buy right off the street from me, I knew I was on to something.

Finding that one special piece to work with, or taking something old and making it new again– that is the intention behind everything I design.
