Jewelry

I prefer making single strand necklaces and simple jewelry to reflect an everyday elegance rather than making jewelry for a one-time soiree or event. I do, however, produce some multiple strand necklaces and more eclectic pieces to suit those tastes. Most of my necklaces reflect a sort of pattern of ebb and flow, often leading up to a simple semi-precious stone pendant.

I see each necklace as having its own unique character and prefer not to make multiple necklaces of the same design. I would much rather incorporate one design and several different moods by using different materials in each necklace. I also enjoy manipulating materials in different ways to make a variety of unique necklaces with their own personalities and characteristics. I think a necklace should be an ultimate reflection of the personality of its wearer, and that, as such a reflection, a necklace should be a one-of-a-kind character.

I enjoy working with a combination of materials at once, incorporating semiprecious stones, wood, metal, glass, and other beads. Mostly, I tend to work with a combination of semiprecious stones and wood or glass.

I try to price my jewelry reasonably according to affordability. I want to make a nice, lasting product at a good price so that many people who may not have otherwise been able to afford nice, hand-beaded semi-precious gemstone jewelry can actually do so.
