My latest earrings

These were fun to create. I love organic shapes and earthy stones. Notice the little organic bits in the quartz dangling inside the leaf shape. SOLD

Some auction action!

Freshwater pearls wrapped in a ring, add some faceted smoky quartz drops, and you've got some beautiful earrings that you can wear dressed up or down! Neutral color scheme means you can wear them with several outfits. SOLD

Donating for Relay for Life

I enjoy creating for a good cause! Tonight, my son's preschool held a silent auction to raise money for Relay for Life. I shaped and hammered the sterling silver frames for these earrings, and then added an apatite drop. Apatite is a beautiful translucent turquoise stone, but unfortunately I didn't get a picture showing how they look held up to the light. I thank the new owner for donating!!

Copper and Brown Pearl earrings

Hand-formed and hammered copper frames hold brown freshwater coin pearls at the base. The marquis-shaped frame displays a smaller, matching round pearl (with a slightly flattened backside).

Each frame and each pearl drop were shaped and hammered by hand. The flattened portion of each drop's wire was rolled up under the pearl for a detailed effect.

Measures about 2 5/8 inches from top of ear hook to bottom of pearl drop. The inside of the marquis is about 1 1/4 inch. $18

Crystal Quartz and Grey Pearl necklace

Crystal quartz, iridescent grey button pearls and large sterling silver links make this necklace a statement piece.

Sparkles in the sun...plenty of texture...bold but not too loud.

The subtle shimmer when not in direct sunlight gives this a luminous quality.

18" at the longest (adjustable). All metal components are sterling silver. $50

Turquoise nugget necklace & earrings

Featuring genuine turquoise nuggets and 2mm sterling silver beads, this adjustable necklace and earrings would look great by themselves or layered with another necklace. The sterling silver chain (for adjusting) ends in a turquoise bear. Necklace adjusts from 16.4" to 17.5" and earrings are 1.5" from top of sterling silver hook to bottom of sterling silver bead. Set is $40

Red Coral necklaces with Bamboo pendants

I've been looking forward to creating these two necklaces for some time now.  When I found the mother of pearl pendant, I immediately thought it would look really cool with the chunky red coral, mimicking the jointed bamboo design.  I added some sterling silver beads and a 1.5" extender chain.  Including the extender, the necklace measures 17.5". $40

For the second necklace, I created the fine silver pendant using Art Clay Silver and impressing a bamboo pattern into it.  I once again thought of the jointed coral looking like bamboo.  Using dyed coral and some randomly placed sterling silver beads, I created a more petite version.  This one measures 17.25" and has a sterling squeeze clasp (no fingernails required). $40
