Hey, my name is Ilse and I am the owner/creator of curlyygurljewels. Back in 2020 I decided to get back into clay and so I started creating clay earrings and I decided I wanted to start selling them. As a little girl, I created different types of necklaces and bracelets but never had luck with earrings. I picked up clay again after a few years and I instantly fell in love again. I have been creating earrings for my shop since March 2020 and I opened my first website on April 21, 2020. Since then, I have been able to create better quality earrings and the support has been amazing. When I was younger, I would pretend I had my own jewelry kiosk at the mall and sold some beaded jewelry, and here I am a few years later with my own website!! I graduated from college with an associate degree in Medical Assisting. I am currently trying to go back to school to become an RN. My dream is to make CGJ my full-time job. I am also a photographer on the side. Check out my Instagram for more product photos and behind the scenes
