Pink Ripple



This was my trial run for a crochet bracelet and earrings. It's the first piece that I have done in the crochet style. I'm very happy with the way it has turned out. There is such a wonderful air of unrefined beauty to this style of jewelry. Granted while this is slightly rougher being a test run, there is still such a diamond in the rough quality to it. It's much like turquoise to me...Beautiful things with a ripple flowing through them, just for you to see the earth that they come from. Next I plan to do some in which the beading is actually encased in the wire work.

Autumn Kissed

This Item Has Been Sold.


My first true cuff style bracelet...and I love it. Yes, I know, I made it so it's only natural for me to love it. Still, I just love the way it catches the light. This is definately an autumn inspired piece, but instead of being typical autumn colors it has browns, rust, peaches, and gold all on brass wire. This is something that I will be coming back to make more with similar looks to them.

Shell Shimmer


This necklace is one that I did with sterling silver wire, fluourite chips, seed beads, and a shell focal point. The picture honestly doesn't do it justice because it catches the light so well. I had to keep the necklace design very simple and clean because the shell has so many flashes of color that I simply couldn't pull attention from it.
