About the Artist
 
I have loved jewelry since I was a very little girl. The first piece I ever owned was a pearl baby necklace that my grandmother gave me at my baptism. I often reorganized my mother's jewelry box just so that I could look at and play with the jewelry. The dazzling colors, the shapes, the sparkles, the feel! I was and am still utterly mesmerized by lovely beads, crystals and metal. And rocks. And all other kinds of pretties.

For my jewelry designs I use a variety of beads: semi-precious gemstones, Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, Czech and other glass, vintage and more. I use sterling silver, goldfilled, copper, steel, and aluminum metals. If you have an allergy to metals, I can switch out the earwires in my earrings with non-allergenic ones.

I also make suncatchers, Christmas ornaments and other items.

I make my pieces with loving care and attention to detail, with the hope that you will feel beautiful and magically energized when you wear them, for years to come.
