MEET AUDREY
Audrey Olenick has brought life to her love of jewelry through Iris Trends. Audrey has had a passion for jewelry ever since she was a little girl, when she would go to garage sales and spend her allowance on vintage pearl clip on earrings and necklace sets from the 1950s. Her childhood bedroom walls were adorned with her treasures, displayed like pieces of artwork. She even began making her own jewelry, and sold her creations at local art fairs during the summertime.
Audrey still is a collector of costume jewelry for her own personal collection, and she is delighted to share her curation for Iris Trends with you! She strives to find one of a kind pieces that are designed and handmade in the jewelry artist ’s country of origin, and is particularly drawn to traditional fashion jewelry materials - such as acrylics - that remind her of the vintage pieces she collected during her childhood. Her passion is uncovering the most unique jewelry creations from around the world to bring to Iris patrons, and providing a platform for jewelry artists around the globe to share their amazing work.She hopes to further build a community of style and culture enthusiasts through Iris Trends.
“ Jewelry is meant to be fun and adventurous! Play around with it and maybe try on a piece you wouldn’t normally wear everyday, but can be a sparkly addition to a basic dress or t-shirt. Jewelry can be an extension of your creative identity in the fashion world. ”
