I was born and lived in Los Angeles, CA until moving to Chapel Hill, NC in 2004. I have been fascinated with jewelry for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of going through my mother's jewelry box and trying on everything. When I was twelve I asked my parents to buy me one special piece of jewelry rather than a lot of presents. Thus began my collecting and my life-long love affair with jewelry.

I have been making my own jewelry for a few years now and in November 2014 opened an online shop: www.etsy.com/shop/CherylPetersonDesign. My aim is to provide beautiful, affordable and unique pieces that you cannot find anywhere else. My jewelry is ideal to accessorize your travel wardrobe so you can leave your treasured heirlooms at home worry free from them being lost or stolen.
