BootyHeart Jewelry

Bio: My name is David Garay and I am the owner of BootyHeart Jewelry. Growing up in Gilroy, California I always considered myself an artisan. Art in every form is my passion. I started with drawing and sketching and have progressively moved to jewelry making. There is a great satisfaction in creating things with my hands; I started with concrete by making counter tops and tables and now am designing pendants of all shapes and sizes. I am a perfectionist who strives to make each piece as flawless as humanly possible. BootyHeart Jewelry was borne of my desire to create unique jewelry that possesses the essence of the women I hope will wear it. It encompasses their aura while attempting to replicate the vastness of the sentiments in their hearts. I’ve made every effort to capture the aura of my inspiration in the abstract renditions I am sharing via my craft. I believe that there is always room for growth; my hope is to continue to evolve as an artist. I strive to have great communication with my customers and to work with them to create the piece that is perfect for them. It is my sincere hope that as you browse through my shop, you take in the entire experience of the thought and effort that went into each listing.

I’d love to see your representation of a lightening bolt pendant! They are really popular now!
87 David @ BootyHeart Jewelry February 22, 2012 at 8:51 am: Hey, Lisa…just for you! A BootyHeart lightening bolt is now in the works!
88 Amber February 22, 2012 at 2:03 pm: I love the pretty Heart Pendant Ring! David, I would love to see a teal color and more shades of blue. It’s my favorite color family! I also think a dark emerald green would be gorgeous. I also would love to see mixed colors, similar to your Snow Leopard color scheme, but with more of a ‘color block’ scheme, like maybe a magenta and blue, or a purple and orange, etc.

91 Julie B. February 22, 2012 at 4:51 pm: http://www.etsy.com/listing/91380927/eternal-flame-stainless-steel-with
I love this one because at first I thought it was a teardrop shape, then I saw that it was an eternal flame which is even better. Anyway, it is a cool and elegant shape.

In answer to your color question, I’m really into red, cobalt blue, mauve, orange.
92 Sharon S February 22, 2012 at 7:12 pm: I’m with Lisa, a lightening bolt sounds really cool!!
David, thanks for interacting with us!
93 David @ BootyHeart Jewelry February 22, 2012 at 10:24 pm: Thanks for all the input on colors, everybody! I am taking note and can assure you that you will definitely be seeing some of these in my shop!
I’ve got two votes for a lightening bolt…what other shapes do you all find interesting/ irresistible?
94 Jennifer February 23, 2012 at 7:34 am: Wow its so hard to pick my fave, there are so many gorgeous designs and colors! I think this one is really neat because it has 2 different colors and just the shape is so intricate: http://www.etsy.com/listing/93653651/ocean-horizon-stainless-steel-pendant
As for other shapes, maybe a star/moon combo?
95 Amber February 23, 2012 at 9:31 am: I also adore the Deep Purple Asymmetrical Heart pendant

Other shapes I’d love to see: 4 leaf clover, surfboard, palm tree, octopus, star, starfish, lipstick tube, cloud/rain combo, stitched up heart (where it looks stitched back together, rather than a broken heart), high heel, square or rectangle, snake, pawn king or queen (chess piece shapes), cherries, banana, hummingbird, lips, waterfall, feather.
