Ever since her first experience at using color and texture as a student at the museum school of art in South Carolina, master designer Christine Hoke has continued to explore the interplay of color and texture of art in her jewelry designs.
Christine has developed a wide range of designs in various media and finishes to help turn her jewelry pieces from ordinary to extraordinary. Her hand-crafted art has an inspiring touch that draws from a variety of influences. Her background in art certainly helps influence many of her pieces.
Her true desire is to offer fund-raising (see Fund-raising section) to any organization. If you or your organization is interested in forming a fund-raiser, please contact at SimplyStrungTogether.com@gmail.com or phone 412.558.1247.

With the encouragement of family, friends, and coworkers - Simply Strung Together was born! What started out as a simple therapy craft, bloomed into a small business. The response was immediately overwhelming. Starting from a few parties and an online store, the business has grown into four high-end boutiques carrying her pieces and the hiring sales representatives for direct selling!
By far, the most compelling obligation to Christine is to bring more of awareness to the community about Lupus, as she has Lupus herself. Having this disease, she struggles daily to maintain control. Please see the What is Lupus page for more information and how you could possibly help.
Christine gives much credit to her loving daughter, Anna Grace, to whom she is so grateful for all the encouragement, support, and for teaching her how to make jewelry in the first place!
She also gives credit to Tricia Nicholson for giving the gentle pushes to help get the business up and running and is currently the accountant for Simply Strung Together. She also works for Delisi & Associates, PC a full service accounting firm in Greensburg, PA.
