Are you a winter person?  Cool icicles, frosty snowballs...If you love the ice and snow, we have the perfect winter jewelry so you can show off your cool side all year round.

Snow

White pearls give us the impression of smooth, new-fallen snow across the hillsides.  

You can capture that new-snow feeling with twisted white pearls wrapped around your wrist. We make it to order and add your family's birthstones, interspersed with our beautiful twisted pearls.  

When you think of candy, do you think of handmade jewelry?  Maybe you should!  Many of our jewelry designs look nearly good enough to eat.

Rock Candy

Can anyone see those and not want one?  That little stick with the ball on the bottom, and that crunchy colorful sugar on top! Reminiscent of chunky, sparkly rock candy, this Pink Jade Gemstone Magnetic beaded bracelet is hard not to lick!  Gracing your wrist will be tanzanite purple and peach faceted beads with sterling silver spacers.

Your flip-flops have never looked so good! This summer, pair the perennially-popular beach shoes with beaded handmade anklets.  Summer sandals or shoes take on a more important look with the right anklet. Even bare feet look stylish and chic when they're adorned with a little shimmer and shine.

But not just any anklets. You want something fun, sophisticated, and totally you -- and well-made, hand-beaded anklets are perfect. You can even order your special colors, beads, and stones for a one-of-a-kind treasure. Here are a few suggestions for adorning your summer tootsies.

Sometimes nature sparks my creativity. Consider the night sky...a sweeping wonder of light from distant, spinning galaxies. Imagine grasping that light, compressing it, and placing the miniaturized glow around your neck!

The Art Bead necklaces I make give reality to that beautiful wreath of captured light. 

If a galaxy consists of gravitationally bound systems of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust and dark matter, my handmade necklaces consist of systems of equally remarkable seed beads, Swarovski Austrian crystals...

Traditionally, when talking about Emeralds, you consider the properties by which we grade a gem, or its history, or the emeralds made famous for their size or style or exorbitant price. Let's try a different approach. Let's talk about why an emerald is so achingly beautiful!

Green. Rich, relaxing, and inherently tranquil, green is the most abundant color in the natural world.

Your big day is coming!  You have everything in place and every detail thought through.  Venue, check. Officiate, check. Invitations, check.  Gorgeous dress, check check! It may sneak up on you, but have you thought of the "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a silver sixpence in her shoe" tradition?  

Where did this tradition come from?  It dates back to Queen Victoria in Great Britain around 1840.  Each part of the saying is a reference to some part of family, future, and fortune.  You can go to our website for a detailed description of each part.

Art is the wonderful expression of our creative skill and imagination. Usually, we picture a painting or a sculpture or a work of music, but I offer this thought -- jewelry, too, is art, appreciated for its beauty and emotional power. 

The beaded jewelry I make is singular, each piece rising from the blending of my imagination with my skill in selecting and combining the perfect elements to create a specific piece of jewelry. Like all artists, I do it for the simple joy of creating.
