Corly has always had an interest in making jewelry and even went to art school, in Halifax to learn the craft. Unfortunately she found the classes too tedious and structured and didn't enjoy it at all, plus she was also very young. Then fast forward 8 years later, when she started to dabble with wood jewelry and did a few disappointing craft shows. In 2007, when Sabrina Butterfly Designs first opened, Corly was the first employee, the store had it's own in house vintage jewelry line and this is where Corly was inspired to start making earrings from vintage beads.
"My love for vintage stuff and jewelry inspired me to take my new skills from Sabrina Butterfly further, and I began to make jewelry at home and do small craft shows. I used primarily vintage materials in the beginning, and then moved to raw brass stampings, swarovski crystals, and vintage beads. That way I can age the brass, find the same materials again, and have a unified jewelry line. My designs are inspired by the early 1900s, flapper dresses, long gloves, elegant ladies with long necklaces and chandelier earrings. When I work on a piece I find myself picturing my jewelry in that time period. Eventually, when my son is a little older I would love to do this full-time, through online sales and better yet my own store selling jewelry and vintage treasures."
