About us

Hello, my name is Linda Drake. I am the owner and designer of LinVonne Jewelry.

 I am a retired principal, who was enjoying retirement, but was searching for a new journey that would stimulate my mind creatively and be purposeful.

 After praying on it, one day while reading my emails I came across an advertisement for taking  metalsmithing classes.  I knew nothing about metalsmithing, but I thought “What the heck, go for it” and I did.  Oh my gosh, once I started taking the classes, I never stopped. It’s now been five years. I take classes in Chicago and in Miami. I want to learn as much as I can so that I can continue to design interesting art. 

I’ve always worn jewelry, especially earrings to express my individuality. Now I’ve developed a true passion for creating objects to help others express themselves, as well. I accomplished this by fabricating pieces using precious metals, stones and gems. My jewelry incorporates patterns, color, movement and geometric dimensions.
