Her signature collage necklaces turn vintage costume jewelry and old beads into wearable art, with each piece retaining the character of its decades-old components.

It's All About You AmyFrom a small corner of her barn in 2014, Amy has built It's All About You Amy into a one-woman Lancaster County studio making personalized hand-stamped jewelry, ornaments, and keepsakes. Amy strikes every letter and design by hand, one piece at a time, so the slight variations are part of the character rather than a flaw. Her work includes meaningful milestone gifts and memorial pieces, including signature housewarming ornaments stamped with an address and year.339910STEVENS, PA
