About Me

Phyllis Yancy Designs "Inspiration Through Hand Designed Jewelry"Beads have been important for centuries as a form of currency, a display of wealth, and as symbols of religious and cultural beliefs.With my jewelry, I have attempted to enrich your knowledge of African-trade beads, Austrian crystals, Czechoslovakia beads and other various stones. Inspired by the beautiful colors of these areas, many of the custom designed jewelry pieces in this collection are fashioned from natural material gathered across the World.It is my hope that my work reflects an artist's passion to be creative.My entire collection is artistically designed and handmade by me and is meant to evoke an individual's sense of self-love, personality, character, strength, and mood.In moving from Chicago to Arizona in 2007, I have come closer to realizing my dreams. Creating jewelry has always been my passion, folks. Having no formal education in the craft, I spent several years teaching myself the varied techniques of jewelry making I now use.I have found creative inspiration through fashion, one-to-one presentations, private parties, craft shows and a website. I agree with many artists when they say "It is only through the 'making' that inspiration is drawn, and the next piece envisioned.""When I give you what I make with my hands... I share my heart!!" - Phyllis Yancy.www.phyllisyancydesigns.com is currently under construction for a new and improved look. For samples of my work, please click on "view photos" to the left.

My Interests

My interests? Well, my joy and passion comes when I am requested to custom design pieces for those who appreciate one-of-kind pieces. Pieces that are specifically designed with them in mind. My focus is on a "Men's" line, Umm, (the neo-soul, urban male - more cultural designs to connect with your spirit), but I am also available for custom orders for women as well. Love my sistas too! LOL... I will be launching a new website very soon, so stay tuned! ..
