Lynne Shapiro-Goldman, creator and designer of Crystal Candy Jewelry has been setting the trends as long as she can remember. Her love and passion for fashion and design has enabled her to envision the woman and her fashion needs. Being original in all that she creates has been symbolic of her nature.

Before vintage clothing was a fashion statement, Lynne was fascinated with it. She frequented antique clothing stores and later fulfilled her desire to sell to others who shared that common interest. She soon had a desire to channel that creativity into
haircutting, and continued that talent for over twenty years. Still wanting to diversify her fashion needs, she felt herself drawn into the retail world of costume jewelry, then assuming the title of Trend Jewelry Specialist at Bloomingdale's. This is where her Crystal Candy Jewelry world began.

For the past few years, bracelets were growing in popularity, and to Lynne's delight, it started to be a love of most women. She always, as long as she could remember, adorned herself with bracelets. One wasn't enough, the more the better. As crystals grew in fashion, so did Lynne's need to design her own, for herself. Upon wearing her newly created designs to her Trend Jewelry Specialist job at Bloomingdale's, she was overwhemed with the tremendous response to the bracelets, creating a buzz that was immeasurable. All day long people marveled and were dazzled by the originality and beauty of her Swarovski crystal and vintage bead designs. It was endless how many people wanted to own these bracelets.

As a result, Crystal Candy Jewelry was born. Two months after Lynne's first bracelet was designed, she attended the famous "Open See" at Henri Bendel in New York with the opportunity to show her designs. The buyers loved them and an order was written. Her first store! She continued to do weekly trunk shows for many years. The public's response to her crystal and vintage bead designs were creating a book of adjectives to describe them (fun, charming, adorable, gorgeous, flirty, zesty, juicy) to name a few.

As Lynne's Crystal Candy Jewelry world grows, so does the joy that these bracelets bring to those who own them.

Lynne entertains a certain philosophy that seems to say it all. She believes that if you can't be dripping in diamonds, be dripping in crystal (or both)!
