Join me on an expedition around the world gathering nature’s finest gemstones. American and Asian mined Turquoise, African and Brazilian amethyst, Peruvian and African opals, rose quartz from Madagascar and much more including agate, jasper, pearl, aquamarine and sunstone.
We also find amazing handcrafted materials: contemporary and rare vintage Swarovski® crystals from Austria, spectacular glass beads from Venice, prized glass baubles from the Czech Republic, and vintage beads from Germany. Sterling and fine silver embellishments from Bali, Thailand and India can’t be resisted. Here in the USA we scoop up artisan crafted glass in fantastic colors and shapes.
Using sterling silver and goldfilled wire, as well as vermeil accents, I’ll turn these exquisite acquisitions into unique necklaces, earrings, bracelets and ornaments for your hair. Each design is individually handcrafted in a variety of styles including southwestern, vintage inspired, dark whimsy and simple modern pieces.
