My Pretty Smart Earrings on TV: A Dream Come True
Posted by Deborah Whitfield on
I still can't believe I get to say this, but several TV shows have featured my Pretty Smart earring designs! I once thought it only happened to big brands with huge teams. But here I am, a small business owner, still handcrafting each pair with love. My designs have appeared on popular shows like Virgin River, Firefly Lane, Riverdale, Jane the Virgin, Fuller House, Arrow, So Help Me Todd, and Teachers. It feels surreal even to write that.
My involvement with The Artisan Group made these incredible opportunities possible. This wonderful community of independent artists and makers supports one another and collaborates to bring handcrafted products into the hands of celebrities, stylists, and TV costume designers. Through The Artisan Group’s carefully coordinated gifting efforts, Pretty Smart earrings have found their way into the wardrobes of characters I’ve watched and admired on screen.
Each time I learn that one of my earrings made it onto a set, it's like a little spark lights up in my heart. It's not just about visibility, though of course, I’m beyond excited about that—it’s about validation. It tells me that the countless hours spent designing, refining, packaging, and dreaming are genuinely worthwhile.
Being a part of this experience has also opened my eyes to the immense amount of work that goes into every TV production. From costumes to set design, props to lighting—every little item plays a role in telling the story. And many of those little items? They’re handmade with love and passion by someone like me. It’s humbling and inspiring to think that something so small—a pair of earrings, a hand-poured candle, a handcrafted notebook—can be part of something so much bigger. Every tiny detail is someone’s dream, their art, their heart... and it all comes together to create the magic we see on screen.
I'm so grateful to The Artisan Group for opening doors I never knew I could knock on. Their commitment to elevating handmade artists like me is inspiring and empowering. Being part of their curated selections has helped Pretty Smart Earrings reach places I could never have imagined when I first started making jewelry.
To everyone who's cheered me on, bought a pair of earrings, shared a post, or simply believed in small businesses—you’re part of this story too. Every bit of support helps dreams like mine become a reality.
So, if you're watching your favorite show and catch a glimpse of some sparkly earrings or a unique accessory... who knows? It might just be from Pretty Smart—or another amazing, small, handmade artist following their dreams. These little moments of recognition mean the world to us.
