About the designer

Houston, Texas, United States
I'm a self taught jewelry designer who decided to make this more than just a hobby! I've been making jewelry the last 6 years mostly for friends and people in the west coast swing dance community, where I teach and compete. While I have a day job, it's mostly to pay for my jewelry and dance habits! I primarily work with sterling silver, freshwater pearls, semiprecious stones and swarovski crystals. But I'll use anything that catches my eye and I love to try new techniques!

Want to earn free jewelry from Michelle Summer Designs?


All you have to do is host a trunk show for my jewelry line!  Invite your friends and family who love jewelry - and depending on how much is sold during the trunk show, you'll earn free jewelry!  As a bonus, everyone who is invited will get 15% off all jewelry purchased during the show!

How much jewelry can you earn?

For the first $200 purchased, you will earn $25 in free jewelry.
For every $100 after that, you will earn another $25!  Super easy!

Interested?  Post a comment and we'll chat!

Trunk Show photos

Welcome to my first official Michelle Summer Designs Trunk Show!  This event was the re-launching of my jewelry line.

















Hosted by Ms. Pattykins, aka Lindystamper, who brought Sean, the delicious crepe guy!












I don't want to bombard you with a million pictures, so I will show you some of my favorite pieces.

This is dyed freshwater pearls in a dark link, a peachy pink and white, in a Y-drop style on sterling silver chain.  This one was snatched up almost immediately!  I think this design will become part of the permanent collection.


















This is my bronze necklace set.  Dark and light brown dyed freshwater pearls, with bronze and champagne colored chinarovski crystals and swarovski crystal accents on sterling silver chain.  Also a popular one.

















This one is a triple stranded dyed freshwater pearl set.  It was dubbed the "Power" necklace set, as the lady who bought it though it would be perfect for the courtroom. 

















I love the beads on this one.  They are beautiful rich lipstick red chinarovski crystals, strung with pewter bead and black square cut seed beads accents.

















Thisone is turquoise and coral with sterling silver bead accents.

















That's all for now!  For more pictures, check out the Facebook page for Michelle Summer Designs!

What a night!

I am so tired that I can barely think straight, but I wanted to put down my first thoughts!

Tonight was the re-launching of my brand, with the first official trunk show.  I wasn't nervous but I had put in alot of work for this show and I just wanted it to go well.  and did it ever!  Great support from friends and also from those who haven't seen my stuff in a while or not much of it.  There were many compliments about how my creations have evolved and are much more sophisticated now.  It made me very happy.  I was also able to get a few new orders in as well!

I hope to be able to do more of these as time goes on.  I really enjoy being able to see who is buying my jewelry or working out a custom design with someone.

I'll have a picure heavy post tomorrow!
