Gretchen Hind Designs
Gretchen creates modern, stylish, and affordable wire wrapped jewelry. She uses a variety of metal wire, gemstones, beads, and rocks in her unique creations. She has a number of signature designs and is constantly brainstorming new ones. Gretchen loves repurposing vintage beads as often as possible and is eco-friendly conscious in all production processes.
Her inspiration comes from the challenge of looking
at a spool of wire, and some beads, and contemplating what to make next.
Gretchen starting making jewelry when she and her little boy started
collecting rocks on the beach. She experimented with wire wrapping the
rocks into pendants and it took off from there. Wire wrapped rings have
been her biggest sellers, but earrings are now a close second. She has
sold jewelry to customers all over the world.
Gretchen is a proud member of The Artisan Group, an exclusive, juried group of artists who gift their
handcrafted products to celebrities at Hollywood's top gift lounges,
and in special gift bag opportunities. Celebrities such as Hilary Duff,

upcoming GBK's MTV Movie Awards Gift Lounge, in June, and the GBK 2012 Primetime Emmys Gift Lounge, in
September. In fact, she just found out that she's been selected to have her jewelry included in a special gift bag for Tyra Banks, in early June!
