SHREVEPORT, La. — What started as a quarantine creative project between two friends has turned into a thriving jewelry business in the ArkLaTex.
Shreveport mothers and former teachers Jenny and Anna, known to their followers as Sandy and Rizzo, are the creative force behind Sandy + Rizzo. The local company specializes in colorful, lightweight handmade earrings and accessories designed to bring joy to everyday wear.
The duo began experimenting with hand-poured resin and laser-cut acrylic pieces at home in 2020. Demand grew rapidly after their debut at local events, including the Red River Revel.
Unlike mass-produced accessory brands, Jenny and Anna design and craft every piece themselves alongside a small local team. Their line includes hand-poured resin dangles, acrylic studs, necklaces, and custom glitter blends.
Sandy + Rizzo products are available online at sandyrizzo.com, in local boutiques across the region, and through weekly social media sales events.
