Making Jewelry is My Passion!

Hi There!  I am a Handcrafted Beaded Jewelry designer and a general beadaholic.  

I have a new website that I'm building for Custom Handcrafted Jewelry. Check it out and let me know how I'm doing!

I love working with sterling silver, gemstones, and swarovski crystals, so it only makes sense that I have a new Bridal jewelry line.  I'm trying to add more products each week, so check back often.

My main areas of beading expertise lie in:

  • Mommy Bracelets
  • Wedding Jewelry
  • Flower Girl Jewelry
  • Religious Bracelets
  • In addition to rebuilding my site, I'm in the process of creating an illusion line with floating pearls and Swarovski crystals for the Wedding Party. They are so light and beautiful.

    Here I will try to post photos of my latest creations.

    Custom Handcrafted Jewelry to Die For! 

    One of a Kind Necklace with a Mystery Stone

    I just loved this custom handcrafted necklace, (and was a bit sad to sell it). The focal stone was so unusual with the pink, brown and turquoise swirls. It took me forever, but I think I figured out what this amazing stone was: African Onyx.

    I also found some similar colored gemstones that I just Had to buy. They're called Snakeskin jasper, but they're so much prettier than their name. They're big and bold and will make gorgeous gemstone pendants. I have a jewelry party coming up in February, so I'll post a photo of the finished creation in the next few weeks...

    I had to tear apart a necklace for my sis's mom in law. She wanted other things, and I couldn't find a replacement bead at the Down the Street Bead Show in Tampa...

    So, I had to kill one of my creations... Sob!...I'll post before and after photos. You judge!

    Incorporating wire wrapping into pendants 

    Wire wrapped pendant

    I made this piece after watching a wire wrapping class online. It happened to be the only bead I had that had a big enough hole to fit two wires through. Hope you like it.

    These fun wire wrapped rings are made from non-tarnish sterling silver plated artist wire, not copper - so your finger won't turn green.
