Alexa Webb, 27, began making jewelry for friends and family while she was an undergraduate student. Because of the popularity of her
creations, she eventually turned her hobby into a side business, running a successful online jewelry store and selling her goods at
local events.
As a graduate student at the School of Education at the Johns Hopkins University,Webb experienced a serious health scare, which
persuaded her to leave her studies behind and pursue her jewelry business full-time.
"I realized that life is too short not to pursue what you're really passionate about," she said.
Last summer, Webb opened her own store, Alexandra Webb (Alexa's full name is Lindsey Alexandra Webb),which sells handmade
jewelry, accessories, furniture, candles and decorative items. She crafts all of the jewelry in a small studio on the premises, using
regular and colored freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, semiprecious gemstones and silver to make her jewelry. She also sells
fair-trade handbags and makeup pouches from Cambodia, candles with art imprinted into their glass holders, antique and replicated
antique furniture, and glass trays with colorful, translucent designs. Fifty percent of her jewelry is one of a kind.
"It kind of makes you feel special,because you have something that's uniquely yours," said Webb. Earrings cost $16 to $35, and
necklaces run about $25 to $265.

Small-business owner following family tradition
Mt. Washington's newest business owner and resident is Alexandra Webb, who recently opened an artisan jewelry studio at 5726 Falls
Road next to Garnish Boutique and Eastbank Hair. Light, airy and feminine, the studio affords customers the opportunity to browse and try
on unique jewelry. Alexandra handcrafts all her original pieces using sterling silver as well as stones from around the world.
Both of Alexandra's parents and grandparents owned small businesses, and she has always harbored a dream of owning her own
studio. After studying and working in clinical psychology, she decided to make a life change, take a chance and open her own store.
The result is a wonderful addition to the Mt. Washington business community. Check out her collection on her Web site,

“My jewelry is for the woman who constantly changes her moods. Sometimes she wants to be funky, fun, rock ’n’ roll; other times
she wants to be sophisticated, refined, classic, and sometimes she wants to be beautiful and sexy.”
That’s why Alexa Webb creates each piece to be one-of-a-kind, “much like the women who wear them.” Now selling her creations
both online (http://www.alexandrawebb-jewelry.com) and in her new eponymous Mount Washington store, (Alexandra Webb), Alexa
first tried drawing and painting (and graduate studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Education) before a health crisis prompted her
to return to her true passion. Alexa’s highly wearable pieces are crafted out of sterling silver, semi-precious gemstones, freshwater
pearls, Czech fire-polished glass and Swarovski crystal. Everything is as well-priced as it is well-made. Don’t miss: Her simple and sweet
earrings, a steal at $16 to $35. 5726 Falls Road, 410-303-1703
