When it comes to jewelry, I'll admit I'm a girly girl. I like sparkly things. That's probably why over and over again I've gone to Ute's Unique Lifestyle Jewelry in Montgomery's Heritage District.
Owner Ute Kremer opened the jewelry and accessory shop in 2005. What makes the place really special is that she makes much of what you find there. She personally chooses the other pieces from jewelry makers all over the world.
She carries earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets, purses and more. She also has a selection of bridal jewelry, a selection is pictured on the left.
"All the designs are my own," says Ute. "Everything is one-of-a-kind and unique."
She works with glass and semi-precious stone, as well as sterling silver and antiqued metal. If you catch her at the right time, you can see her making a new piece in her work space in a back room of the shop.
Ute, who also lives in Montgomery, is self-taught and has been making jewelry for years. Her mother was a fashion plate, and clothing designer.
"I always played with accessories. I guess it's kind of in the blood," she says.
Some of the jewelry lines she carries are Sorreli, Lalo, Kenny Ma and Kazuri. Purses include Latico Leather, Sondra Roberts, Jazz'd and Rising Tide.
The high quality pieces are affordable and many are in the $20-$40 range.
The shop is in the 200-year-old Snider House, a historic Montgomery building. It's located at 7789 Cooper Road. Hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and by appointment.
Jewelry is always considered to be a great asset by many people and no matter how elegant an outfit may be, it does not look complete without some piece of jewelry.
Lovely. I've been obsessed with Indian bridal jewelry lately so I'm really loving the bling.
