Er. + Ryal: Hand-Crafted Jewelry by Erica
***For those who know me, hello! For those who are new here, this is a little about who I am….WELCOME!
I’m Erica and I’m from Wheeling, WV. Art has always been my passion since childhood. I pursued this passion through a fine arts degree at Ohio University. While I continued painting and photography after graduation, raising my children shifted my focus away from the field. Following the loss of my father in 2021, I turned back to drawing as a therapeutic outlet. In the past, I sold fine jewelry and experimented with making it myself, starting with a stamping kit and eventually exploring beading. I found beading incredibly relaxing, especially when combined with the calming scent of lavender essential oil. This inspired me to create essential oil diffuser jewelry, often featuring porous lava stones that retain oils for hours. It's a wonderful alternative for those sensitive to perfumes on their skin, as even my earrings incorporate a lava bead. Beyond diffuser jewelry, I also craft custom pieces in 14k gold filled, sterling silver, knotted necklaces, magnetic clasp bracelets, hand painted studs, rosaries, etc. I’ve also started putting together ready-made pieces for everyday wear.
