Since she was little, Abi Rey has had a calling for jewelry making. What started off as rubber band and friendship bracelets has evolved into carefully crafted earrings and intricately wrapped pendants. To share her passion for her craft, she opened her very own small business. Abi specializes in earrings, but also offers bracelets, necklaces, and rings.
