Ms. Banda emphasizes that she sets her jewelry brand apart from others by offering handmade designs at price points that won't break a budget. To keep her overhead costs in check, she says she sources materials creatively from a variety of local metal suppliers. — [2] - Although managing the store, which is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., will occupy much of her time, Ms. Banda said she still intends to operate booths at regional arts festivals. — [3] —. She will also continue to serve on the planning committee for the annual art show at Central Arts University, where she learned her jewelry-making techniques. The idea of opening a physical store came to Ms. Banda when a friend, Brad Machado, told her of his positive experience in operating his retail bookshop on the opposite side of Shadeside Plaza from where Design Glory is now. - [4] -. The shopping area, he said, benefits from the heavy foot traffic nearby.
