About Us

Ornatia Rustic Jewelry: Learn to Make and Sell Artisan Jewelry is the brainchild of "Ornatia," a jewelry maker and former jewelry seller.

The website's mission is to share lessons about selling jewelry online with aspiring entrepreneurs.  "Ornatia" believes the world's economy is unfolding to reveal lasting new economic opportunities for individual entrepreneurs starting out in small business - opportunities of a quantity and quality not seen in many decades.

Before ending the business rather abruptly to take care of her growing family and focus on her writing, Ornatia made quality handcrafted sterling silver jewelry for women and and men.  The designs were rustic and earthy, as witnessed by the photo samplings on this website. 

Ornatia is proud to be a self-taught artisan jewelry designer.  Her business started off as a hobby when she taught herself jewelry making on the Internet. It quickly evolved into an online business.  Ornatia designs have been sold to a wide range of customers, from North America to Europe to Asia to Africa.
