Inspiration comes in all forms, but for Sweet Charleston Designs jewelry designers Angie Buxton and Janie Manning, it was a simple basket.
The sweet grass baskets made in South Carolina’s Lowcountry fascinated Buxton and Manning several years ago, and as they learned more about the intricate craftsmanship that goes into each piece, they became passionate about raising awareness for the dying art.
“Most people don’t know how valuable each and every basket is, and how much work goes into them,” Manning said.
