				<p><b>The Company</b></p>
<p>The Inspired Elements was born of a lifelong passion for color and texture, capturing the swirls of inspiration that surround us.  We find balance through asymmetry, beauty through unexpected materials, and harmony through unconventional color combinations.  Our hope is to provide a simple piece to enhance the confidence, strength and beauty you already possess;  jewelry for your inspired life.</p>
<p><b>The Artist</b></p>
<p>All of our jewelry is crafted by hand, by me-  Kelly Trnka.  I was lucky enough to come from an artistic, creative family.  They did their best to encourage my own creative projects- macaroni necklaces and pipe cleaner rings included!  I've been creating and selling jewelry for over ten years, finally succumbing to technology and creating an online boutique in  2007.</p>
