I’m Cole, the owner of Madame Tassel’s, and I have been making jewelry for about eight years. I taught myself jewelry making while living in London after a friend suggested I needed a new hobby to help deal with my anxiety. I never guessed how much I’d love making jewelry! I soon became obsessed, and all my free time was spent practicing and learning new skills. I eventually moved back to the States, and after I got good enough, I decided to open my own small jewelry business. The original incarnation was Purplelicious Design (obviously I love my purple, well, everything). One day, I bought some tassels on a whim and was experimenting with them, and made some gorgeous tassel necklaces, and didn’t want to stop making them, pretty much ever, so Madame Tassel’s was born!
