About
A little about me and the stones
Designs by Lisa Smith started as LMS Designs but then I realized customers liked knowing my name and were more comfortable contacting me when they knew my name. I have been in business for 25 years. You may have visited my booth at Art and/or Craft shows in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Illinois.
Each piece is designed and created by hand at my Cincinnati studio. I use sterling silver and gemstones to create each piece. In 2024, I purchased 288 lbs of stones at the Tucson Gem Show.
I started making jewelry as a child. Always making and trying new things. But my business grew out of one bracelet my sister-in-law and I made in 1999. People started asking me to make them similar bracelets. Then I got invited to craft shows and ladies nights. Soon, I was doing shows every weekend.
You may also see many of my friends at shows with me, helping me out. Tara and Terrie are called fake Lisa by some good customers because they see them with me so often. Ann travels with me also. You will hear us laughing and having a good time.
We never stop making new designs or looking for new techniques. I took several classes this year at the Gem Show.
