Estilo Margot simply began with an idea. One day I stumbled upon the beading section in a craft store & thought "I can do this." So I did, and the 'Just Once' series was born. Another time I couldn't decide if I should wear a necklace or a necktie with an outfit, then I said "Why not both?" and 'Tie Candee' came to life. With every piece I create, I want to assure the final design exudes a certain boldness & confidence. The very same observed in a picture of my grandmother, Margot, who inspired my shop's name.

If I EM not working with a repurposed necktie, I first -manually or digitally- sketch the grand majority of the designs before I even sew, bead or wire wrap anything. Afterward, I go on a fabric and/or bead hunt. In the studio, I'll either be watching an old B&W, a home decor program eagerly awaiting a room reveal, admiring artistic plates on a cooking show or have my radio playing the likes of Andrea Bocelli, Rascal Flatts, Strunz & Farah, Toby Mac, El Gran Combo or Tony Bennett, just to name a few.

I love all things sweet, all things vintage, 4" stilettos, spending time in my garden & ice cold glasses of Coca Cola. Not necessarily in that order :)

As you can see, many things inspire & provide endless themes for my necklaces. Just as our personalities are distinct, I want every necklace -your necklace- to be distinct. So much so, that it will be quite the conversation piece wherever you go.

Precisely what Estilo Margot is about.
