About Me
Jewelry is an expression of art and emotion, a statement of fashion. I have always enjoyed works of the art. Especially anything that involves creating and crafting with my own two hands. People have always commented highly on my artistic ability. I have a true passion for creating.
One day I found myself in the need of a necklace - something to match an outfit I was going to wear. After many a store visits and frustration, I found myself in a craft store and thought, "why not?". I stumbled upon these stone beads and struck up an idea. I went home and created my very first piece. I got many compliments on my necklace. What a feeling of inspiration! I had so much fun creating it, I thought why not create more. So I did. The more I created, the more compliments I got. And thus "Angel Kisses" was born.
Naming my business came easy. When my children were born they had these red birth marks trailing down the back of their necks, and my son had one on his forehead. The doctor said "your child was kissed by an angel! These birthmarks are called "angel kisses"." I always thought how wonderful to be kissed by an angel before coming into this world.
Each piece is designed and handcrafted by me. Most pieces are kissed with a signature "angel wing" charm (rings and earrings don't usually have room for one) . If you see a piece that you would like in a different color or designed a bit differently, please feel free to contact me. Also, if a piece is sold out and you had wanted to purchase it, I might be able to re-create it for you. I can make custom pieces to your liking for special occasions as well. I also fix jewelry- If you have any knots in your chains, or a clasp that needs to be fixed or is missing- please contact me- I can help! If you are local and would like to have a home show, please email me and we can set up a date!
Please Note: with all my earrings- Only the bright silver earring wires are hypoallergenic as far as I know the other colors are not (gunmetal, copper, bronze, etc.). If you should need hypo on other color earring wires, I can treat them- please let me know.
During Covid in 2020 I took on a new passion- soap making! I figured with all the germs out there why not- everyone needs to wash those germs off! I try to use only natural ingredients with the melt and pour method. You will find all of my ingredients listed on my products pages. I sometimes don't have my soaps stocked up as I like to make them fresh when requested, so if you'd like to order any soaps out of stock, please reach out to me. Please be patient and allow 3-5 business days for shipping. If an item is out of stock, you will need to order at least two bars of the same product. Thank you for understanding!
Lastly, another new passion of mine is skincare! As a woman in her early aging stages I was finding it hard to find the right skincare out there for me. So, I decided to start making my own products using natural ingredients! These products are made upon request so again please allow 3-5 business days for shipping- Thank you for your patience! I list all ingredients on the products pages as well as have a drop-down section where each ingredient benefit is explained.
As a small business I would be very appreciative if you would kindly leave a review upon receipt of receiving my products. Thank you so much
Thank you for your time in viewing my products,
I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy creating them!
Warmly,
Melanie Skurbe
