About Chocolate and Steel

Chocolate and Steel is the creation of independent jewelry designer, Christine Street, Hi, that's me!

Here's my story, if you've got the time:

Born and raised: Pasadena, California

Family: a bunch of very supportive smarty pants

First memory: At age 4 watching the wedding of Princess Di just to see her dress

First painting: Twirl-o-paint

Childhood hobbies: cleaning rocks to sell and redecorating my room monthly.
At age 7 I started moving the furniture around my room by myself. My parents would come home from work
and my bed would be on the other side of the room.

Inspirations: my family and nature

My motto: three rights make a left

How it all began: One day a coworker told me about a bead store that was having a sale. I checked it out and so began my new passion of jewelry making. And I mean passion! I love making things - all things, but I alsolove wearing things. Jewelry making brought together my two biggest obsessions- creating and shopping. I am constantly trying new things.I have worked my way through a myriad of techniques all of which build upon the last. So brings us to Chocolate and Steel.

What's in the name, so you say? Chocolate and Steel is the combination of the unexpected:

Organic and Industrial
Sweet and Tough
Chocolate and Steel
