Christy Robinson - About

Christy Robinson is a native Texan and currently resides in Dallas where she works as a full time studio jewelry artist. She has worked with contemporary jeweler Will Harjes and has taken jewelry intensives at The Craft Guild of Dallas in casting and etching techniques. She is a 2003 GIA Gemology Diamonds Graduate.

Her current body of work, which features jewelry designs that are both one- of- a kind and those that use earth friendly recycled metals such as aluminum, copper,sterling silver often deal with human, animal, and environmental issues.

Having always loved creating, she became completely addicted (I am not kidding) to jewelry making in 1993 and it has become almost her sole form of creative expression.

In 1996, she became an animal rights advocate after watching an undercover video on slaughterhouses. A huge animal lover, having grown up with cows, pigs, and chickens as well as kitties and dogs she instantly went Vegetarian then Vegan and immediately

got involved with the local animal advocacy community.

She also became involved around this same time with the local Green movement in their efforts to help with environmental issues. In addition to these interests she is also a huge indie music lover ...hence the music on the site...:)

In 2006 she combined her interests (jewelry making,animal rights,environment,indie music) and started her online shop via her website and also her Etsy shop (Julep115) Which she named after her beloved rescue corgi mix Julep! Who by the way is the other southern belle in the studio.... as in Mint Julep!!!(see to the left) Miro her kitty boss is doing some paper work below:)

Christy enjoys having her work seen as something beautiful and seemingly material but on closer inspection having it be thought provoking with a slight edge of humor. She currently gives a portion of her proceeds to various earth, animal, or people friendly charities.
