In my quest for “pink” items and Fashionable Gals for a Cure sponsors last month, I had the luck of “meeting” (via email, of course!) Andrea Rosenfeld, owner of Hot Rox Jewelry. She creates unique, handmade jewelry infused with positive vibes and natural beauty. Having quickly become friends with Andrea, I’ve learned that the wonderful spirit of Hot Rox is a direct reflection of its creator–and am not so secretly coveting many of her gorgeous pieces!
“Skilled in metal working, loom weaving, silk screening, lithography, photography, garment design, drawing, painting, ceramics, woodworking — and now jewelry design — Rosenfeld makes use of a combination of materials and techniques, and places emphasis on texture as a main force in her creations.
The most recent path of Rosenfeld’s artistic journey has resulted in Hot Rox Jewelry’s new Kavannah Healing Line. Born out of her desire to create something for a higher purpose, she creates pieces infused with her own personal message of hope and strength, and the belief that the wearer can feel the power of these specific healing stones and their energy of creation and regeneration.”
If you’d like to learn more about Andrea herself, I suggest reading this eloquent interview on WhoHub. There you’ll learn more about her inspiration, design process, and inspiring spirituality. What I want to talk about is the jewelry!
Andrea sells jewelry in several ways: she takes the occasional custom order, does Trunk Shows at Bloomingdale’s (you can find her schedule here), and runs an Etsy shop. You’ll find everything from rings to necklaces, wood to metal, and gemstones aplenty! Each piece has special meaning, and the item descriptions detail what each component brings to the overall energy and appeal of the item.
To me, Hot Rox is all about interconnectedness, connection, growth, and spirituality. These pieces go so much further than the “statement” pieces you’re seeing in all the hot magazines, although they totally fit the bill for Fall & Winter trends, too! Hot Rox is a perfect way to show off your knowledge of what’s hot, but also share your personality through your accessories.
If you’re looking for the perfect piece to express your individuality, or an amazing gift for someone you love, I know that you’ll find it with Hot Rox. Andrea loves to communicate with fans and fashionistas, and I have no doubt that she’d be happy to help you find an item that’s just right. Chat her up online on Twitter @Kavanah, fan her on Facebook (she’s running a great giveaway right now!), follow her Blog, and don’t forget to check out her Etsy shop!
