Designer Handcrafted Jewelry & Loose Gemstones

go together 'like peas and carrots' (as Forrest Gump said). The weather is beautiful, shopping, vacations, shopping, summer BBQs, shopping, swimming...and yes, local festivals and faires are in full swing.

The Cotati Jazz Festival was June 19, 2010 and we had a great time listening to jazz and blues all afternoon. The weather was nice, except for the wind, and there were many vendors to choose from for your shopping and tasting delight. I reconnected with Gail from Gail's Treasure Chest and she asked me to bring my jewelry to her shop so she could feature Sonoma Gemstones as Artist of the Month for July. I took about 15 pieces and she's setting up a nice little feature display. Gail is so talented, she creates her own style of jewelry, paints, creates ceramics, operates her shop, and she's a nurse! Where does she find the time for all this? Makes me tired just to think about it...

If you live in Sonoma County, feel free to stop by either of these great shops.

I created this 19" necklace with 3-4mm Freshwater Pearls with a Beautifl Drop Pearl, wire wrapped in Argentium Sterling Silver. The set comes with matching earrings in Sterling Silver.

This necklace set would be fantastic adorning your wedding dress or your bridesmaid's dresses. For more information on Pearls and their care check out my other lenses. Thanks for watching...enjoy!
