STEFANIE WOLF DESIGNS
GET TO KNOW STEFANIE
Stefanie Wolf has been attracted to shiny, colorful objects since her rock collection days as a kid. After leaving her corporate cubicle to regroup and rejuvenate, she found jewelry making to be a good source of healthy creative expression. She soon started selling her jewelry to help fund a graduate education in psychology, and with her degree behind her in 2004, decided to pursue the business of adornment full time. Now Stefanie Wolf Designs is a growing business, where each piece of jewelry is handcrafted in her studio on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, MA.
A year-round resident of the island, Stefanie draws inspiration for her vibrant pieces from the power and beauty of the ocean, the magic of island life, and the energy of the stones and beads she incorporates in her designs. When she’s not creating jeweled treasures, she can be found in or around the water with her husband and daughter.
Stefanie has no formal art training. Her keen sense of color and proportion, combined with a simple yet sophisticated eye for design make her designs successful. Her popular Trilogy collection features richly colored, elegantly detailed glass tiles. These 'Picasso Windows' are named for their painted edges and their window shape, and each one is a unique piece of art, handmade in the Czech Republic. Stefanie travels to the time-honored glass bead region of Bohemia to select her glass colors, work closely with traditional artisans designing custom shapes, and choose finishes that bring her jewelry collection to life.
Stefanie’s studio and retail boutique, in the historic town of Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard, are open to visitors year-round. Her jewelry can be found at fine shops, museums, catalogs and galleries nationwide, as well as right here on her website.
THE JOURNEY...
At the age of 18, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. I found myself on Martha's Vineyard for the summer, surrounded by the beauty of the island and the company of international travelers. I worked at grand events, explored secret beaches with newfound friends, and formed deep connections with the people and places that make this island so magical.
It was during those carefree days that I stumbled upon my love for jewelry making. My artistic journey began with a simple box of beads from Beadniks (who could forget that charming bead store in VH?) and a spool of wire from Philips Hardware on Circuit Avenue. Three local shops displayed my necklaces that summer...
However, as life unfolded, I temporarily set aside my creative passion and ventured into the corporate world during my 20s. Yet, the spark of jewelry making never truly faded. It resurfaced as a form of creative therapy during my return to the classroom to pursue my psychology license.
My trust bead box was dusted off once more.
The language of auspicious gems became my artistic medium, and I delighted in crafting vibrant, unexpected pairings. Craft shows became my canvas as I gradually immersed myself in the art of creative self-expression. A tacklebox of beads transformed into a dedicated studio, which eventually blossomed into the beautiful store you see today as my jewelry journey took me from Martha's Vineyard to Hawaii, and back to San Francisco.
Today, I find immense joy in crafting vibrant, expressive adornments, from sparking jewelry to handcrafted bags. My journey has invigorated my passion, and my jewelry studio has evolved into a lifestyle boutique for the inspired, ageless, woman. I invite you to join me in my studio and shop, where you can discover the perfect piece to help you shine from the inside out.
