Ladies of Chicagoland hunt for unique jewelry… this we know. Jewelry offsets the bland black and gray uniform we all wear during Autumn and Winter. Just the right piece can create a world of difference for your ensemble and the vibe that is projected. We search high-and-low for the perfect piece that enhances our spirit and makes us feel like a goddess. This adventure takes us into local boutiques, online and perhaps across country!

Look no further! Dollybird Design satisfies our craving for something unique, gorgeous and wearable daily! The lavish handmade designs adorn our beautiful personalities and create quite a stir!

Metalsmith and Designer, Katie Johansson creates individually handcrafted jewelry based on one of a kind designs. Inventing her own trends, she gets her inspiration from any boulder, crag, crystal, gem, grain, gravel, jewel, metal, mineral, ore, pebble or rock. Her mission is to create Jewelry that is original in form and timesless in style, so that it can be passed on with ages to come.

Lucky for you, Dollybird is co-hosting an event this Saturday, October 10th at The Empty Bottle. Join designer Katie for Bloody Mary’s and Jewelry from 12-4p. For now, learn more about Katie’s inspirations…
