Our Story

Saved by Grace

 Hey babe! Welcome to By Grace Designs! We are so happy you have decided to shop with us!

By Grace Designs was created in 2017 with the vision of spreading love and instilling confidence in women everywhere! Each purchase comes with a little reminder that, "You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you." -Song of Songs 4:7.

All of our jewelry is handmade and chosen by me, Shelby Thomas. I am from Athens, Georgia and I recently graduated from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke where I was a student athlete for 4 years. I am currently a graduate student in the Masters of Occupational Therapy program Lenior-Rhyne University in Columbia, South Carolina. I started making jewelry as a hobby and began posting it on Instagram. Before I knew it, people were interested in what I was designing and as my following grew I knew I wanted to make my new found business something bigger than myself so I started writing a little note of my favorite bible verse in each order I received. My hope in doing this was to remind my customers that it doesn't matter what you look like or what you've been through, you are loved unconditionally by the mighty Lord who created each of us and he thinks you are BEAUTIFUL. I have continued to spread this message throughout the years and my little jewelry business has turned into something so much bigger than I could have ever hoped. I truly could not do any of this without the love and support of you all and you have blessed me beyond belief. Thank you so much for turning my little dream into a reality.

XOXO,

Shelby Thomas
