"I can spend hours arranging where the stones are on a piece and rearranging," said Johnson. "I found there was a way that just looked right to me and it was very satisfying to find that," she added.
Johnson's foray into jewelry making may have been serendipitous, but her vision for her work is carefully honed: statement pieces that marry a handcrafted, organic aesthetic with eco-friendly materials and production.
Her jewelry may have an earth-friendly pedigree but its stylish sensibility is the reason it flies off the shelves at high-end boutiques. In discussing the growth of Wolfbead Designs, Johnson mused that within four years, what started as a hobby is now a venture that produces approximately 100 hand-crafted pieces a year and has her wares carried in half a dozen stores.
