Meet the Designer
Meet Virginia Babiuk, lovingly known as Virg, a jewelry designer whose creations are as heartfelt as her story. Growing up in Michigan, Virg experienced the hardships of a challenging childhood. Raised in a family with limited means, she quickly learned the value of hard work and ingenuity. From a young age, Virg developed a knack for creating things with her hands, a trait she inherited from her father.
At just 15 years old, Virg secured her first job at Production Tapping, using a fake ID to work on a reaming machine. Despite the physical labor, she thrived, discovering her mechanical talents when her father handed her the challenge of reassembling her own car engine. This hands-on experience ignited her passion for working with her hands, and she carried this creativity and problem-solving spirit into her adulthood.
Virg’s journey into jewelry making began serendipitously. She broke a cherished bracelet and, unable to find all the pieces, decided to craft a new one. Her friends and family admired her work, encouraging her to create more. With each piece, Virg poured her heart and soul into the design, ensuring every bracelet and necklace was not only beautiful but also meaningful.
In her creations, Virg uses faceted crystals, particularly cube crystals, which catch the light in mesmerizing ways. She believes that these sparkling pieces can brighten anyone's day, making them feel beautiful and confident, no matter their outfit. Her jewelry is crafted with high-quality materials, ensuring that elegance is accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford expensive luxury items.
Virg’s mission with Colors by Virg is to spread happiness and self-worth through her jewelry. She believes that everyone deserves to feel special and cherished, and her pieces are designed to do just that. Whether it’s a single bracelet or a matching set, each item is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a deep sense of care.
For Virg, creating jewelry is more than just a business; it’s a way to connect with others and share a piece of her heart. She hopes her customers feel the warmth and love infused in every piece, making them smile and feel valued. As Virg says, “A stranger is just a friend I haven’t met,” and through her jewelry, she extends this friendship to everyone.
Launching her new website, ColorsByVirg.com, Virg invites you to explore her collection and discover the joy and beauty that her handcrafted jewelry can bring into your life. With each piece, you’re not just wearing a beautiful accessory; you’re embracing a story of resilience, creativity, and love.
