"Since my engagement, I knew I wanted the jewelry for my wedding to be from Angie Star. Beautiful quality, exquisite taste, stunning (but understated), and unique jewelry. Angie, Amy, and everyone at Angie Star were accomodating, friendly, and welcoming, while giving me time ( and I took a lot) to browse, ponder, and figure out exactly what I wanted. I felt like I was able to create my own pieces, with of course their expertise and advice. They were so easy to work with, flexible with my schedule, and even offered to rush a few days to make sure I had my jewelry on time. When I picked up my necklace and earrings, they were absolutely gorgeous, but needed to be shortened a bit..... and they were able to do it for me on the spot. I received so many compliments on my jewelry at the wedding... even my vendors recognized the work of Angie Star. I've been telling everyone (including all the future brides I know) to check out Angie Star. I couldn't be happier with my stunning jewelry!"

From nationally renown jewelry design and one-of-a-kind pieces born in beautiful Boulder, Colorado…to bridal collections that perfectly complement the maid’s gowns (and trounce the stale, conventional sets at department stores)…to your own designs, Angie Star will change forever the way you see your jewelry.

Boulder’s own Angie Star Jewelry is taking a national position and, in doing so, impacting a distinct industry, the bridal industry. Brides from across the country are coming to Colorado’s jewelry-design house for custom-made sets that complement the gowns and the tone of their ceremonies. Angie Star has given them ready access to materials and expertise they wouldn’t otherwise have. As a result, brides are defying the common, machine-made jewelry that makes others feel limited and frustrated.

Women in this region bring in swatches of fabric and photos of the dresses, to work one-on-one with the designer most suited to the style of their wedding. Remote brides-to-be receive the same service through personal conversations, digital images, and the gallery’s portfolio. Angie Star Jewelry is giving these women a new creative outlet, making it possible for them to design pieces that the bridesmaids are likely to wear for years after the ceremony.

"Since my engagement, I knew I wanted the jewelry for my wedding to be from Angie Star Jewelry,” said Claire Levitch of Atlanta, Georgia. “Beautiful quality, exquisite taste, stunning but understated, unique….

“Everyone at Angie Star was accommodating, friendly, and welcoming. They were so easy to work with, giving me time to ponder and figure out exactly what I wanted. I received so many compliments on my jewelry at the wedding. Even other wedding vendors recognized the work of Angie Star. I couldn't be happier!"

The gallery’s appeal is no doubt due to its array of styles, from show-stopping, avant-garde designs that complement this season’s runway, to uncommon everyday pieces, to graceful lifetime treasures. It features the work of six designers formally trained in the arts.

Word-of-mouth is quickly building the gallery’s reputation as one of the country’s popular jewelry designers. Jennifer Chan, of the San Francisco Bay area, recently received an Angie Star Jewelry original as a gift from her husband. The necklace is unlike the jewelry common to fashion stores, she said. The stones, the chain, and the drape are raw and modern—just the style that she’d expect to see and want to wear in San Francisco, she said.

“It’s very unique,” Chan said. “It pushes me to be more daring.”

Angie Star Jewelry is launching a new Web site this fall, with the support of another Boulder business, Cypher13. The site will give national clients a strong sense of what is currently being created by the Angie Star team, said Alex Henry, a principal at Cypher13. Clients become familiar with the artistic training and creative style of each designer. They can browse by style or artist, and the site functionality makes it possible for the company to keep its online presence as fresh as its Boulder gallery.

“We’re using Cypher13’s knowledge of the Web and technology to expand Angie Star Jewelry’s reach,” Henry said. “Through this medium, Angie Star is definitely as pro, sophisticated, and knowledgeable as any other company expressing their designs on the Web.”

Owner Angela Olsgard and her staff act on the belief that what people do in their daily lives affects others. Its participation is Boulder standards—like recycling and alternative energies—is magnified by Olsgard’s authentic kindness and her standards for social consciousness and professionalism.

Much of what U.S. consumers buy today is made in another part of the world, either by machines or often by people who aren’t paid a fair wage. In contrast, choosing designs from Angie Star Jewelry contributes to the success of a conscientious business, fuels the local economy and supports the livelihoods of dedicated artists.

One of the Angie Star Jewelry design lines uses recycled silver, and management is currently seeking a reliable source for recycled gold. The art of jewelry making calls upon the world’s natural resources, and historically the international trade market for precious metals and stones has not honored human rights, Olsgard points out.

“We consider it critical to reduce our impact by wasting nothing,” Olsgard said. “We recycle our unused gold fill and sterling (silver). We are committed to creating our art in as sustainable a process as it can be.”
