handmade. creative. jewelry. essedesigns is inspired by the Latin phrase, "esse quam videri" .... loosely translated, "To be rather than to appear."
Jessica Mangan & Darsi Huffman are a mother-daughter team whose love for jewelry inspired them to start making their own pieces to wear and give to friends. As their love for beautiful beads and creating jewelry grew, so did their jewelry collection...which led to the creation of their own little business - essedesigns. Each design is uniquely crafted out of high quality gemstones and metals - fro
m jade & jasper, to garnet & amethyst, to copper & sterling - each piece offers something special to the wearer. essedesigns can be found in several west michigan boutiques and shoppes. We also feature our jewelry at the South Haven Farmer's Market during the summer months. We have participated in several local craft shows and artist markets. Home parties are also an option - meet the designers and try on as many custom pieces, while getting a great discount as a hostess! Need customized jewelry? We love helping create specialized pieces for whatever your needs! Weddings, bridesmaid's gifts, personalized charms - we do it all! A new favorite of ours is our "build-a-necklace" creations - perfect for moms who want to wear their children's initials/birthstones close to their heart! We are ALL one-of-a-kind and essedesigns believes your jewelry should be too! essedesigns hopes to inspire you...to be designed....
