Meet Anna Grace

Hi! My name is Anna Grace and I am the brain (and hands!) behind the scenes at Grace Ann Designs. I am the wife to a Physicist, and Mama to a three year old little girl and a precious baby boy. I recently made the transition from the working world to stay at home mom.. excited to now start this new venture as a business owner!

Why Grace Ann?

I have always known I wanted to have a creative outlet, but wasn't quite sure where to start. I thought of what I craved that the current fashion market wasn't giving me... statement earrrings, but more specifically ones that did not kill my ears and I could wear all day long! So that's where we began.. sourcing the lightest materials possible (rattan, acrylic, wood, resin...) to still make BIG, fun statements.

And then.. I started itching for more and I decided to tack on necklaces too! Most necklaces feature hand painted, recycled beads from Ghana. Others have carved wood or bone beads from other African countries. And I wanted to keep these light too! So most are finished off with hallow wood beads to eliminate some weight.

Thanks for shopping small!! Xo - Anna Grace

Why beads from Ghana?

Beads have been a part of every Ghanaian's life: from having them around their waist, interwoven into their clothes and hair, around their necks, wrists and legs. Ghanaian beads are a part of their culture and are a primary source of income for a majority of the population. Unfortunately the makers and stringers of these beads remain in the rural areas with no way to make their creations accessible to the rest of the world. So I have partnered with a supplier in Kumasi, Ghana to bring their amazing work to you!
