Glamrocks Jewelry is an independent jewelry line designed and fabricated by Phoenix-based metal-smith and designer, Kristen Davis. Uniquely inspired by 70's rocker fashion and modern architecture, Glamrocks started in 2010 with a desire to bridge the gap between the cheap trendy jewelry and really expensive high-end designer pieces. Finding it hard to find jewelry that was on trend, affordable, but didn't compromise quality, Kristen decided to create her own necklace. The result was carving out her own unique niche in a crowded industry. Prior to starting Glamrocks, Kristen worked at a large hospitality interior design firm designing hotels. With the economy taking a dive and her job folding up, she was left with time to revisit a box of beads used to make wedding hairpins in prior years. This inspired Kristen to sign up for classes at a local bead store, thus creating her first necklace. Once she graduated to metalsmithing classes, it was love at first sight. It didn’t take long to set up her home studio and make Glamrocks an official business in January, 2012.
