About Me

Meet Tina, the Owner of The Cool Collective

THE EARLY DAYS

I became interested in jewelry design in 2010 all because of a bracelet that had come apart...my sister had the nerve to force me to repair my own bracelet. Can you believe that? Carla came to visit me when my husband and I lived in FL. I asked her to help me repair a bracelet I had purchased, and she said, "no, you can do it yourself." We pulled out my husband's toolbox...and the rest is history!

PASSION FOR DESIGN

I absolutely love learning new jewelry-making techniques!  I used to make the pilgrimage to Jewelry Television in Knoxville, TN annually for their big workshop.  The participants would have the opportunity to choose from many classes.  I wanted to take them ALL!  I have learned so much these events as well as other in-person classes.
