My Story…
“My love or obsession really, with gemstones began from a very early age. For as long as I can remember I was fascinated by stones of any kind, especially amethyst. I couldn’t believe the Earth just naturally created all these masterpieces. How could they not be special… how could they not inspire wonder…?”

Over the years the art form of jewelry beckoned louder and more frequently. Love Art Style grew from a side project to a full time pursuit. Continually exploring new techniques and materials Andrea creates an ever evolving collection of one of a kind pieces.
Artist Statement
I’ve always believed that what we wear affects our mood, connection to self and therefore the quality of daily life. I handcraft each piece with intention, attention to detail, materials curated over years from continents across the world with sustainability and ethical sourcing in mind.
