Blue n Green Chalcedony earrings

Featuring blue and green chalcedony, these lovely earrings are accented with purple freshwater pearls.  Using all sterling silver metals, the earrings measure 1 3/8" from the top of the hook to the bottom of the faceted blue drop. SOLD

Amethyst and Pearl necklace and earrings set

Made this especially for a purple-lover! I love amethyst, so it was fun to get to use them. Also includes freshwater pearls, sterling silver and Hill Tribe silver. SOLD

Copper Serpentine necklace

Another of my latest creations, this was an experiment with settings. I really like semi-precious stones, the colors and textures of God's creations. Having worked at a lapidary (just one summer in college), I also appreciate odd-shaped cabachons (or non-calibrated, free form cabs), but then you can't just buy a setting for them...and I don't do blow-torch work. So, I've experimented with copper sheet metal and wire (and PMC, but that one's still a work in progress). The stone is a copper-based mineral called serpentine. SOLD

Blue Chalcedony and purple earrings

I created these as a custom request for someone who likes blue and purple.  I love chalcedony's translucent, milky quality, giving it a dreaminess.  I also used amethyst rounds and freshwater pearls.

Monkey earrings

When I found these monkey beads, I thought they would make something really fun...so then I had to find banana beads to go with the monkeys! The monkeys, bananas and green leaves are all made of glass, but the faceted, orange rectangles are carnelian. The earring hooks and wires are sterling silver. These earrings measure a little over 2 inches from the top of the hook to the bottom Thai silver bead. SOLD

 

Sponge coral rose necklace and earrings

Measuring 18 inches (not including the pendant), this necklace features sterling silver, faceted black onyx, pressed glass leaves, and highlights red sponge coral barrel beads with matching rose pendant.  SOLD

Personalized pendant (PMC & Sapphire)

I created these pendants out of Precious Metal Clay, in which I drew the hummingbirds and stacked the layers on top of each other.  I stamped a name and date on the back, and then fired in my kiln, leaving .999 fine silver.  I then added a pearl drop to one and a sapphire drop to the other.  SOLD

Turquoise & Coral necklace & earrings

Genuine turquoise, dyed red coral and sterling silver make up this 17" necklace and almost 2" earrings. Set is SOLD.

Amethyst and Fluorite necklace and earrings

Recently created and given as a gift, this necklace features a gorgeous amethyst drop, wrapped in sterling silver. It hangs from a strand of fluorite flat ovals and another strand of purple freshwater pearls.  Sterling silver beads are randomly interlaced throughout both strands.  SOLD

Grey button pearl earrings

                                               

Grey button pearl earrings with sterling silver components. From top of hook to bottom of pearl, they measure 2.25 inches. Great movement and they go with just about everything! SOLD

Starfish and Black Jasper necklace

This fun necklace is made of black jasper chips, sterling silver beads and a Paua Starfish Pendant.  It measures almost 20 inches plus a 1.5" extender finished with an accent jasper chip.  The sterling silver clasp is an easy-squeeze kind, where you squeeze both raised parts to open the clasp (no messing with finger nails).  All metal materials are sterling silver except for the tiger wire (coated cable) used to string the beads on.  The starfish pendant is definitely coated in some sort of acrylic material that sort of magnifies the paua shell, and it measures approx. 1.5".  You can wear the necklace two different ways as shown (untwisted and twisted).  SOLD

Blue dichroic glass earrings

I made these cabs from translucent dichroic glass, then used my grinder to create a lip around the glass.  I hand-wrapped sterling silver wire around the glass, and made three loops from which hang many glass and sterling beads as well as some Swarovski crystals.  Two of the dangles are also handmade.  These earrings measure almost 3.25" from the very top of the earwire hook to the bottom of the longest dangle.  SOLD

 

Some of my latest work (SOLD).  The first is made of yellow turquoise and gray shell (poor lighthing, sorry). The middle picture is a confirmation gift.  I made the pendant of PMC (fine silver clay), designed the dove, cut it out of the clay, stamped the word FAITH in it, and fired it in my kiln.  I also added a white coin pearl and chrysoprase bead.  The last photo is a pair of earrings I made with PMC (the bottom rings) and gray/purple coin pearls.  Click on photos to see more detail.

Blue chalcedony earrings

This pair of earrings is one of my favorite creations. Composed of sterling silver, they include faceted stones of Peruvian opal, carnelian and blue chalcedony. They measure 1.4" from top of ear hook to bottom of blue drop.

Silver and Smoke earrings

These earrings were handmade by me out of Art Silver Clay with the lower areas accented in black.  The edges have a rough appearance, and I hand wrapped the drops with sterling silver wire.  The faceted smoky quartz drops are light enough to make these earrings go with any outfit. SOLD
