This is a custom piece I made and I’m so in love with it I wanted to be sure to show it off. I’ve used over thirty genuine Swarovski crystals in a fiery gradient of color as the centerpiece of this necklace. The piece is a traditional “Y” shape with sterling silver Figaro chain, a…

Spinel And Copper Dangle Earrings
I had a little bit of the beautiful Spinel gemstone left over after making the Custom, four-strand Spinel bracelet for my Mom’s birthday and with it, I made a pair of Spinel Dangle Earrings in copper. Simple but a lot of fun. These I’m keeping for myself. 😉 I’ve already worn them and received a…
Three Generation Family Tree of Life Pendant
I received a custom order for a three generation Family Tree. She wanted something with the birthstones of May, August and November to represent three generations of her mother, herself and her daughter. I thought this was just the loveliest idea. We set about discussing what we could do for the gemstones. August is Peridot…
Once In A Blue Moon

A nest is a home and a shelter and a Mother bird dedicates herself to the protection of her precious eggs. This process is celebrated in this piece. A unique, antique gold wire is woven…
Charm Bracelets
I’ve made a few loaded charm bracelets as custom pieces lately. They’re a lot of fun to make because I can sit on the couch, watch TV and make the dangles. Each bracelet usually takes a couple hours and it can be repetitive, but it’s also a little comforting at the same time. After I…
Four Strand Spinel Bracelet
I made this lovely spinel gemstone bracelet as a birthday present to my mom. This was my first time working with spinel. In fact, I’d never heard of it before making this piece, but I loved the amazing variety of colors in the stone. Spinel is the great impostor of gemstone history: many famous rubies…
