SIMPLE GRACES JEWELRY, INC.
TAMPA, FLORIDA

Welcome to Simple Graces Jewelry! Simple Graces Jewelry was established in 2001 by model & actress, Daphne McDowell. Daphne started designing Handmade/Handcrafted jewelry to earn extra money so she could help her church move out of their storefront and build their own house of worship. Daphne started designing and selling Jewelry. “I can’t tell you how I decided to design jewelry. I didn’t even wear jewelry, but I’ve always been creative. ” In the winter of 2001, Daphne started selling her Jewelry at the Hyde Park Village Farmer’s Market. She sold her handcrafted jewels there for 4 years. When the farmer’s market abruptly ended in the summer of 2006, she started looking for a storefront. In October of 2006, she found a home for her unique jewelry store on Henderson Blvd in South Tampa. What started as an act of faith grew into a business that still thrives today. Also known as rolled gold, gold-fill products are made by bonding gold with a core of brass. Gold is essentially rolled around the brass core, which explains the term “rolled gold”. In the U.S., gold-filled items must contain 20% gold by weight. This product has 100 times more gold than a gold plated product, and will last a lifetime if cared for properly. Made in Austria, Swarovski products are considered to be the finest products of their kind in the world. Unlike Czech glass, these are machine polished and are more expensive than Czech Glass. Black Stone is very affordable, yet it communicates a look of great prosperity. This stone provides strength to release old relationships and bestows confidence for a new beginning. It also aids in reducing bad habits. Carnelian is a member of the Microcrystalline quartz family and is found naturally in Brazil, India and Uruguay where it’s usually exposed to the sun. The sun enhances the colors within the stone so it is often heat treated to produce the rich colors. This stone is thought to relax fears about death and dying, increase ambition and drive, and protect the wearer from negative emotions. Some believe it helps with creativity and memory, while others swear that it gives the wearer a greater appreciation of nature and even brings them into harmony with it! Peaceful beige, lavender and greens swirl throughout this stone. It makes sense that fancy jasper is a stone of gentleness and relaxation. Each piece brings tranquility and enhances ones ability to relax. Fancy jasper facilitates serenity and helps in eliminating stress, worry and depression. With this relaxation, the wearer has the chance to free their mind and think more clearly. Put jewelry on after:  bathing, applying body lotions, perfume and hair spray to avoid build up and damage from ingredients used in beauty products.

For example, adding more silver, crystals or additional gemstones to make a larger size, or re configuring the structural design of a piece to make it smaller takes additional effort and cost for both materials and labor.
