about candy

Hi! My name is Candy and I am a jewelry artist located Lake Orion, Michigan.

My jewelry creating passion began by stringing beads in the late 1990s. In 2015, while working towards my Associates Degree at Oakland County Community College, a whole new world of metal smithing unveiled itself. This lead me to a short and meaningful time working at Miner’s Den Jewelers (Royal Oak, Michigan). Currently, I am pursuing entrepreneurship while perfecting my chosen craft.

I love bringing life to metal and gemstones by designing, and creating, beautiful pieces of jewelry from my home studio using a variety of metal smithing techniques. As 2026 progresses, some of these pieces will be available here, on my Website, and locally at various makers’ markets.  

Also, I design and build and ready-to-wear jewelry (currently available on my Website). In addition, using these same materials, I create custom pieces. Permanent jewelry is another avenue that has joined my ever-growing jewelry making journey.
