Lariat Style Necklace featuring Bird Nest, Dainty Bird Charm and Leafy Branch
Dainty little bird charm, bird nest and leafy branch come together with chrysocolla gemstone “eggs” all set in sterling silver to make a lovely lariat style necklace. I started with a delicate sterling silver plated link chain. I next added accents of chrysocolla gemstone which is an amazing stone of blue and green swirled together….
Custom Bird Nest Pendant
My Custom Birdnest Pendants are a really simple and lovely way to celebrate family and friends. By selecting 2-4 birthstones, I can make a piece that’s special and meaningful just to you. Here’s a recent example I made for a customer: This one features May (dark green for emerald), July (bright red for ruby) and…
Custom Ruby and Moonstone Tree
Another example of a custom piece. She wanted something with June and July birthstones. June is traditionally pearl, but instead of pearl, she wanted something a little more “gem” looking. I researched some options for her and ultimately, we went with Rainbow Moonstone. It’s a really lovely, semi-opaque stone with an inner fire that sparkles…
Mother’s Day
One of the things about being a jewelry designer is that there’s a lot of opportunity to make gifts for people instead of buying them. For example, this Mother’s Day, I made my Mom a custom Family Tree pendant with my birthstone, my sister’s birthstone and her birthstone. I tend to work in silver primarily,…
Mother’s Day Gift Idea

Handmade with the birthstones of her kids/grandkids it makes a special piece she’ll cherish. (You can choose between 2 and 4 pearl colors in any combination you would like. The first example shows April,…
Seven Eggs In A Basket
Or, well, a nest really but who’s counting? Oh wait, I was that day. A friend of mine wanted a custom bird nest pendant made to represent both the kids and the daughters-in-law as well. Which made for SEVEN eggs in one little nest. I have to be honest, at first, I wasn’t sure it…
Peas In A Pod
Four green aventurine gemstone “peas” are nestled in a sterling silver plated “pod” making a cute little pendant! The pendant starts with non-tarnish German sterling silver plated wire which is shaped and hand hammered to make a peapod shape. Then I wire wrap four beautiful green aventurine round gemstones to make the pea themselves. (Using…
Custom Bird Nest Pendant Bracelet
I had a request to make a bird nest pendant with one pink and one blue Swarovski glass pearl; one each to represent a boy and a girl child. In addition, there is a sterling silver butterfly pendant to represent the Grandmother that has passed away. I completed the bracelet with a heart toggle clasp…
