Kyle Anne Metals Giveaway! {CLOSED}

Hey darlings! It's giveaway time! This giveaway is sponsored by the Kyle Anne Metals shop on etsy.com


Q&A w/ Kyle Anne

1.) Please tell us a little about Kyle Anne Metals etsy shop.

I started my etsy shop a little over two years ago. I was working as a silver and goldsmith for a cloisonne enamelist in Georgia, where I am from. I heard about etsy from a friend and decided I wanted to start my own shop.

2.) What inspires you to create your pieces?

Modernism and the Art Deco movement have always been a huge source of inspiration for me. I really like simple modern designs, and most of my work is really centered around the stone. I use the metal as a way to elegantly showcase the stones in a very simple way. In a way I see my work as creating a frame around an amazing piece of art. It should emphasize the piece, and not distract from its natural beauty.

3.) I read in your etsy profile that you are a formally trained goldsmith and enamelist and you have been making jewelry for over 11 years! Have you always known that you were going to be jewelry designer/creator?

I took my first silversmithing class when I was 16, as soon as I picked up the torch I know that this was what I wanted to do! I did go through a few years of art school but left school when I was offered an amazing apprenticeship. I worked one on one with the cloisonne enamelist, Ricky Frank, and his amazingly talented goldsmith for almost four years, until I decided to branch out on my own.


4.) Your shop consists mostly of gorgeous rings, and less of necklaces and earrings. Would you say rings are your favorite fashion accessory?

Honestly I just really like making rings! I actually started my shop selling mostly earrings and necklaces, but once I started making rings the orders started pouring in so I went with it. The only jewelry I personally wear everyday is 3 thin gold bands on my thumb, one pink, one yellow, and one white.


5.) What type of girl do you envision wearing your jewlery?

I think one of the reasons my shop has been so successful is that my rings are very versatile. I guess I would have to say that I use myself as the person I have in mind when I am designing. If I wouldnt wear a certain ring, once I make the sample, 99% of the time I wont list it!


6.) What is your fave piece in your shop and which piece is your best seller?

For my favorite I would have to say the Definition Of Elegance I can be as grungy and grimy as possible after a day at the studio, but I put that bad boy on and it is like automatic elegance! For my best seller, I would have to say either the simple facets in gold series or the twist bands in gold. They make the perfect little stacking rings and quite a few of my customers have purchased them as wedding bands.
