"Little Pretty is a fabulous on-line boutique that features gorgeous jewelry from eight gifted American designers. With designs ranging from simple and elegant to bold and chunky, there is something for everyone here and at a great range of prices. What I especially like about the store is that the owner is focused on promoting the designs of smaller independent designers who are committed to the quality and uniqueness of their work. Each piece on Little Pretty is handmade by the designers in their own homes, stores, or workshops, not in a factory. It is a great place to check out some of the new up-and-coming jewelry designers that are out right now. Because everyone deserves a little pretty. "

"Little Pretty Things"
"Over the holidays, I learned about a freshly-minted entrepreneur named Claire Hunsaker. She launched LittlePretty, her online boutique for independent jewelry design, just before Thanksgiving after leaving a job as a management consultant. Claire is not a designer herself, but she knew exactly what she wanted from the designers featured in the boutique. All of the jewelry (priced from $50 to $250) is handmade by the designers in their own home, store or workshop - each with a unique story or source of inspiration."
"Victoria Strevens (Moon necklace $85.00) draws some of the inspiration for her designs from the architecture in New York City."
Beth Sosin is an Emmy-award winning producer with a passion for metalsmithing. She includes recycled discarded objects and semi-precious stones in her work.
Dimension Earrings $60.00. Gold Bubbles $80.00.
Susan Wong, the designer behind Castaway, is a self-taught artist whose work is inspired by old world artisans and tribal jewelers who "created great works with their bare hands and minimal tools."
Birds Nest Crystal Earrings $84.00. Guava Necklace $90.00.
Born in Yugoslavia, Gorjana is a former model that started designing jewelry for her collection in between shoots.
Lace Hoop Earrings $70.00. Bee Tag Necklace $95.00.
