We had the good fortune of connecting with Amanda Stringer and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Amanda, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
I am inspired by my surroundings. I live in the beautiful state of colorado where there are glorious mountains and rivers that I am able to explore regularly. I am inspired by my family and especially the wonderful women in my life who wear my jewelry on their own adventures.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am the maker and designer of Amanda Stringer Jewelry. Every piece of my jewelry is hand crafted by me in my home studio in Littleton, CO., on road trips, or at my family’s mountain house in Crested Butte, CO. My motto is have tools will travel. I use a variety of handpicked gemstones and add 14k gold filled and sterling silver components. I saw, solder, hammer and form. I am humbled and honored to have my jewelry adorned by many women and retailers across the country. My heart is full when I see my designs embraced with such Love. That is my true inspiration and Labor of Love. My journey is always evolving with the help and guidance of loved ones. I
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We would start our adventure in downtown Littleton. a darling little town, and grab lunch at Smokin Fins for fish tacos. Then we would hit up the Littleton Anique Musem for some rare finds. My girlfriend and I would hit the road and head to Crested Butte, Co. A beautiful hidden gem about 4 hours from Littleton CO. On our way, we would hit the hot springs and soak our bones in the natural waters. After arriving in Crested Butte, we would hike beautiful trails where our dogs could run off leash for the next few days. We would relax by the fire in the evenings and sip aperol sprizes. On other days, we would shop the local boutiques and eateries where the locals would know our names. Our last adventure would be to float down the Gunnison river and fly fish to our favorite music on our speaker. What a dreamy Trip!!!
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My jewelry collection and its success is influenced by the wonderful women in my life. When I first started my small business, my mother, sisters, and core group of girlfriends gave me the confidence and guidance to keep on truckin. Each collection is designed.to speak to their beauty and elegance. With their support, I am inspired every day.
