Owner/Designer Erica Bapst

Erica Bapst received her AAS in graphic Design from Finger Lakes Community College and her BFA in Metalsmithing from Syracuse University in 2001. She opened her boutique "Adorn" in 2004 in her hometown of Canandaigua, NY where she lives with her husband and daughter.

"I believe that wearing jewelry is all about self expression and celebrating life. The intrinsic value runs deep with every piece you wear. Whether it signifies a vow, connects you with the past, or simply reflects the mood you are in, jewelry can go beyond an accessory to an outfit. It takes confidence to wear bold jewelry. I believe that a strong piece of jewelry can also give you confidence. The accessories you choose to wear, say an unusual necklace or an eye catching ring, will be noticed and through that, people will begin to truly see you as well."

Erica works with a wide variety of materials including sterling silver, 14k gold filled, copper, semiprecious stones, freshwater pearls, Czech glass, Swarovski elements and more. She creates about half the jewelry found in the boutique, the other half being manufactured costume jewelry to fill any gaps in price or style. Feel free to stop in and browse the ready-to-wear jewelry or ask Erica to create a custom piece of jewelry, in the no-pressure atmosphere.
