Bohemian Rose Collection additions. Our best selling color story has been our favorite to design into. I personally love longer pieces that are clean lines and elegant, draping only mid way (about 26-28”). Plus, always inspired by lotus elements in these soft #boho colors. Enjoy your Sunday! We are having our last day at Atlanta Gift show. If you are a wholesaler, we are in Bldg 3, Handmade designer floor 2, booth #215 #atlantagiftshow #newestaddition #bohemianstyle #styleinspo #annabalkanjewelry #handmadejewelry #gemstonejewelry #elegantjewelry #bohochic #layeringnecklaces #statementjewelry

Hi! I am Anna Balkan 😊 I am the face (and the hands) behind this colorful jewelry. Jewelry has not been anywhere on my radar my entire life. I was raised in Ukraine during Socialist regime, where most of anything you want to have you would have to figure out how to make. So I was brought up to resourceful and scrappy. You want a new sweater? Undo the one you don’t want, and make yourself another one you’d wear... and it taught me the lessons of creativity and let me know I can do anything (well, almost anything 😉). I spent my young adult years studying Engineering and immigrated to the USA as a political refugee. Alone, no English, with only $100 to my name and no place to live, sporting only 1 bag filled with my life’s possessions, I stepped into the land of Dreamers and became one. I survived, I learned English and got my education in Economics with PhD level focus on Strategy. 4 years later, I was hired by Andersen Consulting (Accenture) in their Technology division and spent next 15 years in IT, focusing on Financial Services (online bill payment). I joined Checkfree company (Fiserv), where I learned how to lead multimillion dollar projects, innovate processes and learn how to be a good team player and a leader. The creativity and entrepreneurship bug did not struck me until I was pregnant with my daughter. The nesting phase made me all kinds of creative junky! I dabbled in way too many things to count, but jewelry stuck (apparently!). In my blogs on YouTube and on my website, I share more of this transition and all the signs along the way that led me here. But now here I am, in my 15th year of creating jewelry and my 10th year of running my own retail brick and mortar store. What have a learned? I have learned that creativity is all around us, and we all get to tap into it at many points of our lives. I have learned to trust myself and not fear the creative blocks, and that I create best when I have deadlines. And I learned that in order for me to make a positive impact in this world - I have to start by changing myself to be the better human and a friend. Thank you for getting to know me and supporting my art. #1000post
