Three Sisters Jewelry

zoe was raised in cardiff-by-the sea, a funky little beach town located in sunny southern california.  her house was full of vintage furniture, original rock posters torn from street poles in the 60's and persian rugs - it was a mish mash of style and helped shape zoe's personal love of individual style.  growing up with the sun and surf, she always had an appreciation for natural, organic materials.  perfectly manicured and coifed items were just not her thing.  windswept hair, sun-kissed skin and sandy toes peeking out of flip-flops are what she grew to love.  although she loves a touch of bling, she finds that the hammered and hand-cut pieces reflect her true nature. raw, unpretentious and original. her inspiration also comes from her three young daughters, the "three sisters." each different in her own way - the nine year old is her own independent spirit, the six year old is a sparkle of stars and the three year old is just plain ol' hilarious. 

in her former life, zoe was an attorney and then a marketing manager for an international law firm. struggling with the early death of her beloved mom from cancer and then her own cancer diagnosis (two times!), zoe decided to embark on a new, life-changing path.  she opened a photography business and became a partner in lisa and zoe photography - realizing one of many dreams, she opened a studio on cedros in solana beach, california with photographer lisa peirce.  along that road she took metalsmith classes and learned to make jewelry - "three sisters jewelry design" was born and named for her three independent daughters and also her mom, one of three sisters.  zoe's road has zigged and zagged and luckily her husand has always believed in her. he has kept her laughing along the way and pushing her to be her best, reminding her that you never know what's around that next bend.

after coping with heart-breaking loss, zoe realized that life isn't as special if you don't give back.  three sisters is proud to donate a percentage of profits to a notable charity that helps our community.  check the blog to see who is the latest recipient - the current recipient is doctors without borders.  last quarter $3866 was donated, mostly toward the city of hope, a groundbreaking cancer center.  zoe is proud to serve as the city of hope's women's council ambassador of hope 2010.  feel good knowing that your shopping dollars are giving back and helping those in need.

three sisters is so happy to create jewelry for you and hopes that it becomes a part of your family for years to come.  have a thought or comment?  please e-mail zoe direct at zoe@threesistersjewelrydesign.com.
