In the 1980's my personal jewelry collection was a variety of outrageous neon baubles. In the 5th grade jewelry making became my new way to make money, which mostly consisted of attaching earring hooks to charms from my plastic charm necklace. As I grew older I taught myself how to make the jewelry I had seen in stores. I dabbled in Fimo clay, glass beads, macrame, and seed beads all before I was 14. My jewelry took a new turn after I landed a "dream job" in college at a bead store. Now, using semi-precious and precious stones with sterling silver and gold, I am excited to see the different stages my jewelry has gone through. All of my stones are carefully chosen, and I consider the properties of the individual stone as well as its beauty when making a new piece. Many cultures believe that gemstones focus the earth's energies and have distinct healing properties. The traditional properties of the stones used are noted in the description of each piece. Making jewelry, for me, is therapeutic and fun. I hope you find something you like! Disclaimer |
