Personal Concept To create unordinary jewelry. Tina Steinberg creates from her intuition and is spot on in her original ideas. She translates her innovations into timelessly fashionable works of personal art that become her customers' favorite pieces. She also writes poetry and includes her writings on some of her designs.

Personal Faves Vintage finds, antiqued silver, anything organic looking with a little zing. She also loves to mix a little of her Latin heritage flair into some of her work.

How This Jewelry Thing Happened Never wore jewelry nor noticed it on others, but had a dream one night about an idea for a special piece for herself. Not one to follow trends, she lets her dreams and unplanned moments dictate her creations.

Personal Life Married a mensch she met at work before sexual harrassment became unpopular. Proud mom of two hopefully-not-too-obedient children. Comes from a family where hard work, wicked humor, real Mexican food and tequila all make a good day. 

Personal Wish To drive a convertible mini-van........seriously.

some things you shouldn't know about tina, but might find interesting....

Personal Addictions Ms. Pac-Man, internet shoe-shopping, French lemon tarts, cool pens, the smell of Play Doh, green shirts, other people's curly hair, cupcakes, tonic facial misters.

First Job Worked at Baskin-Robbins for one year and did not gain a pound, but did get high cholesterol and a huge forearm.

Favorite Music Sappy 70's love songs, Latin, 80's, some random tunes of the hard rock/heavy metal flavor, any band that has a cute lead singer.

Secret Obsession Pomegranates. Tina secretly hopes that no one will buy her pomegranate-themed jewelry so that she can keep it.

Proud Admission Doesn't like sushi and has happily come to terms with this after several failed attempts to like it. What's the deal with all the sushi etiquette anyway? Dios mio....

Bad Habits None.
