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.

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.

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.

Just setting up my site!

I've been designing jewelry and giving it as gifts but several people have asked to purchase my pieces. Thus my hobby is becoming a bit more!
This site is where I'll post photos of my work so prospective clients can preview them. I will also offer a custom-design service where I can design a specific piece just for you for any occassion. I will work hand in hand with clients to design just what you want. No more running into 15 other people wearing your jewelry (a pet-peeve of mine!).
I use stones such as Lapis, Beach Glass, Onyx, Agate, Pearls, Lampworked Glass, Diphoric Glass, Swarovski Crystals, and others. My work is very affordable for the quality and workmanship offered.
Hopefully I'll have my site up and running within the next month....check back then!
