ABOUT ISLAND BANGLES
Coronado jewelry designer Kate Purdy began designing jewelry as a jewelry and art major at the University of Illinois and went on to have a sucessful career as an award-winning graphic designer. After moving to Coronado Island in southern California, she came back to her "roots" and began designing jewelry again.
Kate finds inspiration in the natural beauty and colors of the California beach and her extensive collection of antique jewelry. She is a published jewelry designer, with projects featured in Beadstyle Magazine and on the cover of the book, "The Best Projects from BeadStyle Magazine". She will be a featured artist again later this year in Beadstyle Magazine and Beadstar Magazine. Her jewelry has also been featured in San Diego Home & Garden Magazine, Coronado Eagle/Journal newspaper and Coronado Lifestyle Magazine.
Kate sells her unique handmade jewelry at select arts and crafts shows in southern California, Peartree Studio in the Ray Street gallery district of San Diego, the Coronado Yacht Club, San Diego Maritime Museum Gift Shop, Austin's Gallery in Coronado and the famous Hotel Del Coronado Beach Resort in Coronado, California.
