Smithe Eugene’s passion with jewelry stems from a BFA degree from Virginia Commonwealth University .  Her leather  slider necklaces are popular with any age group and create the perfect everyday jewelry option.   Smithe created the “slider” concept when she discovered a particular liking to a special necklace and wanting to wear it  almost everyday. “Depending on the neckline of attire, it did not always work- so I reformatted the necklace into a slider”, says Smithe.  One day it was a choker, the next day it was a long necklace, and it was worn with other necklaces.  Each slider design has an individual character, as Smithe uses an ecliptic variety of beads, mixed metals, and other vintage jewelry pieces -making each slider unique and reasonably priced ($14-$40, average $20). Many choose to purchase several sliders which can be worn at the same time- creating individual “slider art”!
