My name is Jessica and I currently live and work in Minneapolis, MN with my husband Gary. I've been crafting in general for several years, focusing mainly on designing jewelry. My current focus is on vintage inspired floral jewelry with a modern flair.

I come from a long line of creative women, my grandmother hails from Germany and is a highly talented knitter, crocheter and seamstress. My mother loved making beautiful, creative things with her own two hands. Like my mother and grandmother, my own personal love for jewelry making and design is rooted in a for handcrafting. I've also repeatedly found it frustrating when I am unable to find exactly what I had pictured in my mind in stores. I learned the skills I needed to craft jewelry of my own, in order to bring to life the images in my mind, and fell in love with designing unique and one-of-a-kind pieces for myself and for friends and family. I'm told so often that my pieces are "darling" that I named my shop "Liebling", the German word for darling.

All of my pieces are handcrafted in a smoke-free, pet-free environment.
