WEEK SEVENTEEN: Win your choice of any gorgeous in-stock earrings from Chris Elser at Christina Vitale Modern Jewelry!

According to Chris, "I started making jewelry a couple of years ago. It all started with a bag of buttons that I wanted to do something with and a book about button jewelry. I became fascinated with making jewelry and haven't stopped."

"I love strong, rich colors and textures. These inspire me to create pieces that have a contemporary, yet retro, feel. My favorite pieces to make are earrings, as they are a great way to express yourself and can create a unique statement when worn," she notes.
