Red, Orange and Green drop earrings

Featuring red coral slices, faceted orange carnelian and lime green howlite, these colorful earrings have been a fun design experiment for me. Measuring 2.5" from top of hook to bottom of green drop, they are made with sterling silver components.




Among many things, I'm always considering movement when I create jewelry - how will it move or lay when you're wearing it? Will it swing freely or stiffly, rotate or remain stationery, wiggle or be rigid? These earrings rotate all around at the top, possibly revealing any side at one time; however, the green drop is secured to the faceted carnelian ring, so they swing together, not separately. $22

Rainbow Moonstone Earrings





Not just for the moon! These earrings were made to go with everything. Featuring rainbow moonstone discs, the earrings' square frames are handmade of sterling silver square wire, giving it a little extra sparkle.

Moonstone occasionally reflects a bluish shade, depending on the lighting, but most of these stones are clear or white.

They measure almost 2.5" from the top of the hook to the bottom of the earring frame. All metals are sterling silver. SOLD

Copper and Green Pearl earrings



Hand-formed and hammered copper frames hold green freshwater pearls. Each marquis-shaped frame and each pearl drop were shaped and hammered. The flattened portion of the drop's wire was rolled up under the pearl for a detailed effect.

About 2.5" from top of ear hook to bottom of pearl drop. The inside of the marquis is about an inch. $OLD

Recent work

I had a sweet baby boy last year, so I've been quite preoccupied, but I'm not giving up on my passion, my creative outlet, my pretties :) I did manage to take a metal workshop with my daughter at one point, so I've been having fun with texturing metal...or dreaming of it anyway. My most recent creations have been gifts for others, but I thought I'd share.

Aquamarine Choker set

This gorgeous choker is made entirely of sterling silver and aquamarine coin beads and drops, with a few genuine Swarovski crystals to add a little sparkle! I hand-hooked every section/drop and made the earrings to match the drops that flank the large central crystal. The earrings can be re-done with the smaller crystals, if desired. The adjustable choker measures from 15" to almost 17.5". The earrings measure a little over 1.5" from top of leverback to bottom of aquamarine. Set is $OLD.
