Twyla Designs
Paris, TN
Hello, I’m Amy Jones and I would like to welcome you to a whimsical realm where polymer clay takes on a new life, transforming into captivating jewelry that speaks volumes about individuality and style.
I am the heart and soul behind Twyla Designs, a passionate artisan whose love affair with the arts began in the cozy corners of childhood and flourished into a lifelong pursuit of creative expression. From my early years I studied music, theatre and dance, and I have worked in many areas of the arts over the years, from beginning in professional theatre to serving as the Executive Director of my local Arts Council, while raising kids and building my family. After years of creating jewelry for myself as a hobbyist I was encouraged to share my creations by that same family. Thus, Twyla Designs was born. Wondering where the name Twyla comes from? It’s an acronym for the names of my beloved children and husband.
Since its inception in 2020, Twyla Designs has blossomed from a humble collection displayed in a local store to a beloved brand worn by jewelry enthusiasts across the nation. Leaning into a mid-century modern aesthetic and inspired by the world around me, my creations seamlessly blend retro style with contemporary flair, meticulously crafted with nickel-free and lead-free hardware, ensuring comfort for sensitive ears.
Fueled by a passion for color and pattern, I hand mix every hue, resulting in a collection ranging from faux gemstones and watercolor-inspired painterly designs to intricate patterns. Polymer clay is my versatile canvas, allowing experimentation with a wide variety of techniques. I love to play with distortion and imprecise mixing, allowing the medium to surprise me! Each piece I create represents the boundless creativity that fuels my soul.
