Although the stone is called "yellow" turquoise, it is actually a lime green, if you ask me. And this special strand includes hints of burnt orange, hard to capture in the photos. Highlighting all these warm colors are carnelian, citrine and faceted smoky quartz. The necklace is comprised of 15mm yellow turquoise flat discs separated by gold-filled saucer beads, and it measures 17.25" from the tip of the gold-filled ring to the tip of the gold-filled lobster claw. The matching earrings are also made of gold-filled metals and measure a little over 1.5" long. Set is $55 SOLD, but working on a similar version with reds instead of oranges, also with sterling silver instead of gold.

Personalized PMC charms & beads
Wearable souvenirs
If you bring home a souvenir from a special trip or occasion, maybe you want to turn it into a wearable piece of art. This shell came from a special trip to the African coast and is now a lovely pendant. Maybe you have an old momento from a loved one that could be dangled from a bracelet (like grandpa's old transportation tokens or grandma's button collection). Let's work together to see what we can create!

Turquoise & Tiger Eye necklace & earrings
PMC Holy Spirit earrings
These earrings feature a relatively new material called PMC (Precious Metal Clay) which starts as pure silver particles in an organic binder, worked like clay, dried, and fired in my kiln, burning up the binder and leaving behind .999 pure silver. I then dipped the two links in liver of sulfer to accent the words. The rest of the earrings are sterling silver, freshwater pearls and a Swarovski crystal. We are God's pearls of great price...and also notice the three dangles, symbolic of the Trinity. The earrings measure a little over 2" from top of hook to bottom of crystal. SOLD
Iolite Y-necklace & earrings
With rich shades of blue and purple, these iolite ovals are enhanced by freshwater pearls, faceted iolite and sterling silver fleur-de-lis beads. The necklace is adjustable from 16.75" to almost 18" and features a special squeeze clasp (no fingernails needed!). The earrings are almost 1.5" from top of hook to bottom of iolite. Set is $45 SOLD
