My Philosophy
I love jewelry. It is pretty much as simple as that.
I love pretty much everything about jewelry. I love the variety of styles and meanings of jewelry. I love the infinite number of things that can be used to make jewelry. I love the engineering and problem solving of jewelry design and manufacture. I love the instant gratification of being able to create and finish pieces in a short amount of time. I love all the tiny little bits and pieces. I love the stones and beads. I love the repetition of beading and wire wrapping. I love wearing jewelry!
My History
My jewelry obsession began at a pretty early age. I began making jewelry in elementary school. I taught myself how to make jewelry by taking things apart. I began my first wholesale jewelry business in 1985. This consisted mainly of glued and soldered together found objects and watch parts. I then designed and worked for many manufacturing companies on the West coast. If you purchased any accessories from the Limited or Express stores from 1986-1991, they most likely passed through my design studio. My current jewelry business began in 1998. I have made an entire career out of beads, string and wire.
My Jewelry Now
My current jewelry is made from sterling silver components, semi-precious beads, freshwater pearls and crystal beads. I work hard to make affordable, wearable jewels that will become your wear-every-day favorites.
I find design inspiration just about everywhere; stores, magazines, in my dreams, what I see people wearing. I have been tuned into the jewelry wavelength for so long that inspiration just comes.
My Goal
I have a slow growth plan that will hopefully allow me to continue to keep making and selling jewelry for many years to come. Every purchase you make allows me to continue to do what I love best. I very much appreciate the support of my customers, my friends and my community. Thanks for your support!
