The old song says that “diamonds
are a girl’s best
friend.”
For Aubre Stephens,
jewelry in general makes for
pretty good company.
Only 20, Stephens, a McCreary
County native, has her own jewelrymaking
business online, Elle Vee
Jewelry.
Within Stephens’ collection of
creations, one can find all sorts
of accessories, such as earrings,
necklaces, anklets, bracelets and rings.
“I try to make pieces that I’d love
to wear and incorporate some recent
trends,” said Stephens. “I always am
looking out for cute charms and beads
that I know people would love and
incorporate them into pieces.”
Stephens is currently a senior at
Morehead State University in Kentucky,
studying biomedical sciences. For her,
Elle Vee Jewelry is a full-time job, and
allows her to have a steady income
while going to school -- and all while
doing something she loves.
