About Me

I design unique handcrafted jewelry, so precious metal clay allows me to create truly one-of-a-kind jewelry designs with unique handcrafted beads and findings I make myself. You can see my one-of-a-kind jewelry at Polished & Put-Together, http://www.p-pt.com/. Many of my current designs use glass and crystal beads, but I will be adding more precious metal clay designs in the coming months.
