STORE SPOTLIGHT

Some of you are probably already familiar with D. Baker Jewelry, an Etsy store that offers an extensive range of beautiful repliKate jewellery at affordable prices.

The store was founded by Daniela from Fort Worth, Texas. In her own words, here's a little background about the store:

D. Baker Jewelry was created in 2008 because of my love of the Tudor and Renaissance era jewelry. I have since expanded into other lines of jewelry inspired from movies, TV shows and celebrities. 

I was self taught and have grown over the years in my craft. Everything is handmade by me in my home studio. Some of my items have been featured in Broadway plays, Metropolitan Opera House events, reenactment events, TV shows, magazine photoshoots and celebrities. I enjoy what I do and have met so many wonderful people along the way.

My jewelry can be worn by anyone for any occasion because everyone should feel elegant and special everyday and I hope that my jewelry inspires that in my customers.

SPECIAL OFFER:
Daniela has kindly offered Kate's Closet readers an exclusive coupon code!  Use the code "KATE10" during checkout to get 10% off any order. Valid through to 30th April.
