Smokey Quartz Graphics


This is a "different" necklace - but in a good way for sure! I designed this for my mom because she wanted an eye-catching piece in earth tones. She loves it and it gets her lots of compliments!
The necklace is 30" and is made of various shapes and sizes of smokey quartz in brown and grey shades. The natural stones are individually wrapped on a gold chain. I'm going to try this same look mounted on silver and I think it will look just as neat!

Katelyne Murano Glass and Pearl Set

I started making myself a version of the "Sharon" set I made for my mother-in-law.
My oldest daughter had the idea to add in more strands of the glass beads to make a toursad necklace. From there I created the twisted bracelett and the drop earrings.
It can also be worn loose for a more casual look. The effect is beautiful.
I wear it with jeans and a simple shirt or a dressy dress for church or wedding.
I get MANY compliments on this set each time I wear it!

Necklace is 22" but twists to a length of 18". 2 strands on glass beads and one strand of glass and multi-colored pearls in earth tones. Silver toggle closure.

Bracelett is also 3-strands just like the necklace and has a magnetic closure.

Earrings are 2 glass beads and one pearl on a silver lever back earring.

2008 Children Of The Light Jewelry


This set was designed for the 2008 Edition of
Children Of The Light, a ministry of Youth For Christ.
I am lucky enough to be able to work with this
talented group of teens as their vocal coach!
The set is made of Black Onyx with Murano Glass Beads
and a Crystal Roundelle showcased in the center.
The pendant hangs on a 18" chain but a 20" would work just as well!
The earrings are 2 Murano Glass Beads and 1 Crystal Roundelles and
hand approximately 3/4".

"Trio"
This pretty 3-piece set is eye-catching and I always get comments when I wear it. The earrings are beautiful alone - the black ones are slightly larger then the crystals.
This is made from Czech Crystals and Swarovski Crystals debut themselves as the focal center stones.

Breast Cancer Awareness Jewelry Set



My grandmother battled breast cancer and won but I have a friend who lost her mother to this cancer after a brief fight. I created this set in honor of all women who have battled this disease so courageously!
The set is made of Glass Czech Beads and has Sterling Silver finishings.

"Catherine"


Handmade Turquoise Porcelain Beads

Carnelian Glass Beads

14-K Gold Plated Accents

Toggle Closure

18-inch length


This necklace is stunning. Since each Porcelain Bead is handmade, each is unique in color variety. A pair of simple gold hoops would be the perfect compliment to this piece.







"Julie"

Black Onyx beads and silver accents.
Leverback earrings and toggle closure on bracelet.

I designed this set for my friend Julies 40th Birthday. It is an elegant way to dress up a pair of jeans or is a beautiful addition to your simple black dress.
