About Christy Robinson Design

Hi I'm Christy and I have loved creating since childhood, and when I started working at a gem and mineral shop in my early 20's I started playing around making jewelry with rough rocks I had polished in a rock tumbler and also gemstone beads and was immediately obsessed leading me to eventually take a basic metal smithing class at a community college. I found that I really loved jewelry making because of the variety of techniques that it offered unlike other art forms which seemed kind of limiting to me at the time. Since then I have gone on to work with two Dallas based contemporary jewelers and have taken jewelry intensives at The Craft Guild of Dallas and the Creative Art Center also in Dallas and learned a variety of other jewelry techniques which I now use to make my jewelry. I use hand sawing, hand stamping, casting, metal clay/kiln firing, enameling, etching, stone setting, beading, metal fabrication & soldering techniques to create my jewelry often using more than one technique per piece. I use recycled metals,Lab Grown, American Mined and ethically sourced gemstones. In 2007 I combined my interests by starting my online shop via my primary website www.christyrobinsondesign.com and my Etsy Shop. In both I strive to offer affordable, well made,sustainable jewelry in recycled metals that is both earth and animal (vegan)friendly and also promotes & encourages a dialogue for the wearer about the causes they care about. Peace, Love, & Joy, ChristyRead their story
