Bijoutiful: (pronounced “bee-joo-tee-full” or, with a silent “j”)
‘Bijou’ is the French word for jewelry, or a small, intricately wrought trinket. Combined with the tail end of the English word ‘beautiful’, we have something truly special….Bijoutiful!
Bijoutiful jewelry is made with the finest workmanship possible: Amber personally makes every item herself, as if for herself. Working in this way, she can be assured that her creations meet her own personal standards before leaving her hands.
All raw metals (wire, sheet, etc.) are recycled/reclaimed metal, and Amber never uses any harsh chemicals during the fabrication process. Liver of Sulfur is used to oxidize the metal, and when spent, the solution is then fed to the plants in her garden.
It brings Amber such pleasure to bring beauty into other people’s lives by way of her little creations. She tries to make this reflect through her work, and it ends up that a bit of her heart goes out with each piece she creates.
Amber has always been the obsessive type, headstrong & ambitious. She studied a few different languages, but only two really caught her attention: Russian & Spanish. She can read cyrillic, speak like a 3 year old and recite Pushkin & Akhmatova, but she is most comfortable with Spanish. She also loves to dance Salsa, Merengue and Tango. Perhaps it’s because she has Spanish blood running through her veins…. Whatever the case, her true passion lies with metal and all things shiny!
Amber Yearwood is a self-taught metalsmith jeweler that loves nature and things that sparkle. She is an avid gardener, loves to read, take nature walks, make knots (macramé) and play video games. Amber was born in Barbados, a small island in the Caribbean and is currently living in Austin, Texas with her husband and their 4 cats. (Yes, 4!)
