Meet Lori Cohn of charmed design 1012 on Etsy ~
About two years ago, Lori became ill from an infection that resulted from a routine tooth extraction. After a brush with death and several life saving surgeries, Lori feels blessed to be here today. Her bracelets at charmed design 1012 came into being as something constructive and positive to do while she was recovering.
Her wrap bracelets are made from leather, satin and silk, and they feature charms that inspire her, as well as beautiful stones. She says, “Although I lost my job, home, and life as I knew it, surviving such a near death experience has made me feel and believe that I am indeed – CHARMED. My jewelry reflects my experience and love for life. I am inspired by signs and symbols that are all around us and that, if we let them, can uplift and guide us.”
