This is a new wrapping method that I am working on. The pendant is a wavy cut 40 mm Bronzite pendant. Gold-filled and sterling silver wire wrap the outer edge then curl, ripple, and wave over the stone. Including the bail, the pendant comes out right at 2 1/4" long. The Bronzite has such great shades of brown that even move into gold tones. I realize this picture has a good bit of glare from the wire and even the stone, but I really wanted to show the depth and color variations in the Bronzite. I can't do it justice with a photograph, but you get the idea.I recently learned that Bronzite is said to ward off ill wishes others have for you. Not only that, but it is said to return it three fold to the sender. . . I thought that was fascinating, and know I'm thinking of making LOTS of Bronzite pieces!

Butterfly's Pass

This Item Has Been Sold

This necklace uses sterling silver wire and spacer beads, white freshwater pearls, jade, dyed quartz, blue opals, and a clay focal by Clay Jeani. The necklace is very simple with clean lines and a handmade sterling silver clasp. The focal has a very soft blue undertone to the butterfly with the blue opals having a soft blue hue to them as well.

Hidden Trail

This Item Has Been Sold

My sister and her love of these shades of green inspired this necklace. The necklace is made with Russian jade and picture jasper stone beads and a Russian jade pendant wrapped in sterling silver wire. The dark green working through the stones like a web make me think of the hidden trails I've always loved to wander down. It's so reminiscent of cool moss covered rocks under your feet and the sun barely peaking through the thick treetops.

Moonlight Sonata

This Item Has Been Sold

This necklace waited so patiently for me to finally make it. I wrapped the hematite donut nearly a month ago and sat waiting for the rest to fall into place. Then one day a woman I know that is an amazing jewelry artisan, Szarka, had a sale on some of her things and I went to looking around. That's when I saw the blue opal nuggets and it was lust from there. The rest of the strand is made up of large grey fresh water pearls, potato shaped white fresh water pearls, small dark grey swarovski pearls, and black agate. Looking at this necklace just makes me hear a piano playing in the back of my mind.Perhaps it's the shape of it or flow of black and white like piano keys. Either way, patience pays off well.

Quiet Sunset

This necklace could quickly become mine. It's reddish agate, pink aventurine, lampwork glass beads, and a carnelian nugget as the focal point. I just love the softer shades of orange and red with deep vibrant oranges and muted reds. You can even look at the carnelian nugget and just see the sun setting.

First Try at Rings

I finally decided to brave making a few rings. This is the first batch. The top left is stabilized turquoise wrapped in sterling silver. Center left is a fire polished green bead with flashes of red, orange, yellow, and gold in sterling silver. Lower left is blue glass and matte finished cut edges in sterling silver. Upper right is a teal crystal in sterling silver. Lower right is a round tiger's eye wrapped in gold-filled wire.

Green Meadow

This Item Has Been Sold.

I found these glass beads some time ago and have been thinking of a home for them ever since. Well, I finally found it, wrapped in dual strands of sterling silver wire. I love the colors of the beads because it is such a rich green with transparent parts, swirls of yellow, and tiny hints of red. It reminds me of the meadow behind my house I grew up in with a few bright flowers scattered through it.

Hanging On

This bracelet is one that I made using silver wire and different types of glass beads. I just started gathering them up one day thinking about the coming summer. All of the beads are different, and each dangle is unique. I'm just hanging on until summer when it will be warm again.

Peachy Time

This is one of the watch bands that I've made recently with a few dangles added to the connecting wire form.

Rosie Posie

Amethyst nugget, freshwater pearls in soft pink and in purple, and glass beads for accent... This necklace just makes me think of the warm and cold lingering between winter and spring, that swirl of sunny days with ones that make your teeth chatter.

Two of a Kind

These Items Have Been Sold.

These two necklaces were done for my mom and her dear friend. They were both done to match yet be unique to their styles. The amethyst nuggets, amber chips, purple fresh water pearls, and pewter accents were used throughout both necklaces. However, amethyst tubes and a charoite centerpiece wrapped in sterling silver finish of one with great range in purple hues while a wider range of amber colors and a sterling silver wrapped amber centerpiece complete the other.

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.

This Item Has Been Sold.

This set is my newest piece. The necklace uses various crystals and glass beads along with gold and green dyed pearls. The strand of pearls and two strands of mixed beads and crystals are strung on gold filled wire with 14k gold bead chain finishing it with a delicate touch. The necklace is apprx. 18 inches long, and lays beautifully. The earrings are, of course, hypoallergenic hooks with gold wire and green pearls. The rolling swirls finish the earrings well without taking attention from the necklace.

Blue on Brass

These Items Have Been Sold.
This set uses various blue and cream beads on brass wire with some gunmetal finished wire for warm accents. The necklace is strung on three single strands of colored bead string in warm gold and brown tones loosely crocheted together giving it great texture. The bangle bracelet mimics a smaller scale version of the neckalce centerpiece tying the two together seemlessly. The sides are accented with larger beads along the front sides and smaller, smooth beads on the underside for comfort.

Green and Yellow Bangle

This Item Has Been Sold.
This bangle bracelet is done with sterling silver wire woven and twisted forming the bangle from one single piece. It is accented with yellow crackled glass, green specialty beads, and glass beads with green, yellow, and orange tones. It has a hook and large ring closure to make opening and closing easy with one hand only, and lays comfortably flat while your wrist is resting.

Butterfly

I really enjoyed doing this set. The pendant gets a whimsical feel from the wavy pattern given to the sterling silver wire with lavender and plum swarovski crystals. The earrings are done with sterling silver wire spiraling to match the "tails" of the butterfly and adorned with swarovski crystals. The earrings also are made with hypoallergenic earwires. The pendant is 2 1/4"w and 2 3/4"h. The earrings are 1 1/4" long from the base.
