Austin Cake 1973

 

Sand . Sea . Sun  &  Austin Design  

...began as a result of a lifelong love affair with the beach.  I was fortunate to grow up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, in the village of Cape Hatteras.  My summers were spent pretending to be a dolphin or a mermaid, and hunting the shoreline for treasures. As a little girl, I spent hours collecting driftwood, shells, sand, and suntans ~ but the best discovery of all was always a genuine piece of seaglass. I still have a few of the pictures and mirrors I would decorate on rainy days, carefully placing each shell, each pebble....

The years passed as they always do, and while living on the island of St. Thomas I focused my creative side, and began making jewelry. Through trial and error and genuine fascination, Austin Design was born. I sold to my first galleries there, and then began attending retail and wholesale art shows along the East Coast. In 1995 I returned to Hatteras Island, and concentrated on the development of both my jewelry lines, and the business as a whole.

Much has changed since this picture was taken in 1973, but sometimes ~ if the sun is just right, and I raise my hands over my head, close my eyes, and listen to the waves .....sometimes I can still believe that I am a mermaid.....

Sand . Sea . Sun  &  Austin Design  

are two distinctive American handcrafted jewelry lines. Sand . Sea . Sun is created from natural sea glass, sterling silver, sand etched glass beads, recycled glass, charms with nautical and sea life motifs, and bright crystals. Austin Design is a contemporary line, incorporating current fashion trends, semi-precious stones, natural pearls, bohemian glass, and sterling silver.

Austin Design originated in 1987 on the Island of Cape Hatteras, a small fishing village on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Today, we also have a studio in the foothills of the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains. Our company is a group of artisans which create each and every piece by hand. We pride ourselves not only in our original designs but also in the quality and workmanship which goes into every piece. Our inspiration, of course, is our home island ~ into all the jewelry we blend the colors, elements and feel of the ocean.
