ABOUT LITTLE REE JEWELRY

​

I am a one-woman online jewelry boutique specializing in semi-precious stones with sterling silver, fine silver and gold.

​

My pieces range from funky bohemian to understated elegance, and can be worn with jeans during the day or a formal dress for a night on the town.  My shop was named after my kitty daughter, Reeses Ferguson, who left me on March 22, 2015.  However, I prefer not to think of her as departed, but rather she's just telecommuting from heaven. 

​

I discovered my love of jewelry making in 2017, following a surprising corporate lay-off.   For the first time in decades, I had a lot of free time and I was absolutely climbing the walls with boredom while looking for a new day gig. I  started off beading and wire-wrapping, then graduated to metalsmithing in late 2018.   Not to sound sappy, but each piece I make is truly created with love, and of course gorgeous gemstones and natural metals.

OWNER BIO: DESIREE FERGUSON

​​

I'm a native San Franciscan currently living in Portland, OR,   I work as an Administrative Assistant during the day, but metalsmiting and beading is my true heart's passion. 

As far back as I can remember, I have been enchanted with semi-precious stones and sterling silver jewelry - especially rich jewel tones. I remember my mother (a painter) "dragging" me around San Francisco to various arts and crafts festivals where passionate artisans plied their trade. Little did I know, I'd one day join their ranks.  I'm truly honored to call myself a metalsmith.

​

In my free time, I enjoy trying new restaurants, watching true crime shows, and accosting dogs on the street for smooches.  

​

I hope you find something you love today, but if not, please stop by often, as I am always adding new designs.
