The Creative Mind Behind APT. 535
Meet Grace
Hey there, I'm Grace, the artisan behind all the handcrafted jewelry at APT 535. A true Scorpio with a Virgo moon, I'm a blend of extrovert and introvert, and a lover of all things art, fashion, and pop culture. When I'm not immersed in crafting jewelry, you'll find me hanging with friends, working on art projects, doing yoga, curating mood boards, or tending to my houseplants.
About APT. 535
Craftsmanship That Transcends Style
At APT. 535, we believe that jewelry should be more than just an accessory; it should be an expression of your unique style and personality. Our handcrafted jewelry is meticulously designed to be versatile, suitable for everyday wear with scrubs or a t-shirt, yet ready to elevate your look for a night out. Our pieces are meant to stack together, creating the ultimate statement. Whether you're a fan of bold, colorful designs or prefer timeless pearls and monochromatic elegance, we've got something that suits your fashion forward taste.
From Creative Outlet to Entrepreneurial Pursuit
My journey with APT 535 began right here in Pittsburgh just last year. It all started in my studio apartment, APT #535. At that time, it was a creative outlet and a side hustle that started after my 9-to-5. I started crafting custom beaded keychains for my close friends, discovering my innate talent for jewelry making. The more I delved into it, the more my passion for creating bracelets, necklaces, and earrings grew. As friends came over for drinks and marveled at my creations, they couldn't help but take some home with them. APT. 535 was born out of my dream to be both a creative force and an entrepreneur, in a way I never expected. Today, it's a blend of the old and the new, a fusion of unique charms and beads found thrifting, crafted into modern and edgy pieces.
From My Apartment to Your Jewelry Box
Every piece at APT. 535 is crafted by hand in Washington, D.C. It's here that I channel my artistic vision into tangible creations. My mission is to connect with the world through my art and designs, striving to make it a kinder place by helping individuals connect with themselves. With each piece, I aim to make you feel beautiful and eager to accessorize. My goal is to offer something on my website that resonates with everyone, catering to diverse tastes and styles.
