Everybody has a story. That is the idea that influences my jewelry designs.  Whether a Charm necklace with words and symbols that tell your story or a pair of earrings that makes someone smile by reminding them of a time spent by the ocean, my jewelry is designed to make my customers feel unique and happy while wearing it.

Family is Forever

But no family is perfect

Ocean   The Sea is in My Soul

I Love My Dog

Life is Good

Jewelry Descriptions

Silver wire/Semi-precious stone Earrings

 Sterling silver, 10K gold or copper wire are combined with semi-precious beads/pearls to create unique earrings.  The wire is bent and coiled, then hammered, or used to wrap the beads creating unique designs in earrings or to include in necklaces.  I use turquoise, aventurine, jade, African beads, sodalite, amethyst, yellow turquoise, red coral, fresh water pearls, various jaspers, quartz, and many other semi precious stones combined with sterling silver components and wire.

Charm Necklaces

The Personalized Charm Necklaces are assembled from components that customers can choose to document their life—to tell their story.  Sometimes this is a simple history with children’s names or dates or it can be meant to give someone Hope and Courage, to Dream Big, or to See the Big Picture.  I make components from Silver or Copper sheet—word tags that are then stamped with words, phrases, or names.  Birds and fish are also cut out and embellished.  Stone and pearls are wrapped in silver or copper wire to enhance each necklace and found objects are sometimes included.

Burnished  Story Necklaces

These are my newest necklaces.  I stamp words or phrases such as "Family is Forever" and then burnish the silver to create a matt finish.  Then I use a wooden form to hammer it into a slightly domed shape.  This creates a cradle to hold a charm or pearl.  I like the cross with a heart in the center to complete the message.  Then a pearl is added to silver wire that connects the silver piece and creates a way to hang it from a chain.
