BIBA DESIGN JEWELRY After earning a bachelor's in mechanical engineering from U-M and a master's in engineering

management, Biljana Stewart let her artistic sensibilities take over: In 2007, the Plymouth-based artisan launched Biba

Design Jewelry. Inspired by timeless classics and using traditional pearl-stringing techniques, Stewart's pieces fuse ele-
gant sophistication with statement-piece attitude. Pink, white and silver pearls, turquoise, faceted onyx and more dance
together in chokers, layered tassels, earrings and more. Emery's Creative Jewelers, Farmington Hills (248-855-0433).
