Ditty Drops is bright and bold handmade jewelry, prints and accessories with geometric overtones. All designs are original illustrations by me, Meredith Schwab.

The inspiration for my company came from an extended stay in Berlin, Germany and the jewelry, art and culture I experienced there. I was also very driven to start my own business so I could travel at will, I now split my time between New York and London and Ditty Drops travels with me. There is a interview on me and my business on FanQuarterly.com, here is the link.

You can find Ditty Drops in shops, boutiques and galleries in many countries: Australia, England, Canada, and Jordan to name a few. Locally I sell at Anchor No. 5 Boutique on River Street in Troy, NY and the Saratoga Arts Council on Braodway in Saratoga, NY.
