About Us

Rose Brooks Designs is the shop created out of Rose Brooks' lifelong love of jewelry making.

As a child, Rose started with plastic pony beads and lanyard to make ladder-lace keychains and jewelry for her family and friends. The next step was glass beads and wire, and she worked with chainmail for a short time. At Grossmont Community College, Rose had the opportunity to take a Jewelry Making course, where she learned the basics of fabrication, forging, and finishing. She went on to study at San Diego State University, not for jewelry but for English Writing and Literature, in which she earned a Bachelor's Degree of Arts.

Today, she lives in San Diego with her husband, three cats, and dog, and she works out of her own home studio, learning new techniques on her own and building up her business.
