About Marta Weaver:
I LOVE DESIGNING JEWELRY FOR YOU and doing so is a way for me to nurture and rejuvenate my spirit. When I step into my studio I am able to design pieces from my heart and that is where my creations are born. Each one of my pieces tells a story that you can wear. My college-aged son Zach and I are now collaborating together. He designs amazing precious metal, kiln-fired pendants used in many of my pieces.
My designs are continually inspired by my faith, family and surroundings here in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. I'm happily married to my guy for nearly 30 yrs, a BUSY mom of 7 children (3 grown, 4 adopted) and a homeschool teacher. This business helps feed, homeschool, and support my family, and our dogs Raleigh and Wrigley
