One thing every girl loves is jewelry and shopping, especially online shopping. It makes it even better when the jewelry is handmade (with love) and you're supporting someone else's dream. What do you get when you combine all of that? R&S Designs, an online handmade jewelry shop. R&S was created by best friend duo and two of the sweetest girls that I have ever met, René Shipman and Sara Herman.
I asked Sara about how the business started and this was her response: "The story of how we got started is actually pretty funny. So we were headed to Gadsden so I could get some new sunglasses and on our way, I randomly said, 'Hey René, what if we started making jewelry?' and we just kind of started brainstorming and thinking of ideas and came back home and started our business all in one day: June 26, 2017. It's been challenging, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's made René and I so close and given us so many opportunities that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise and we definitely couldn't do it without the support of our parents and mentors."
R&S Designs has something for everyone, whether you love simple, dainty jewelry or bold, statement pieces, R&S is the place for you!! Here are some of my favorite must-have pieces.
