In Spring - A Casual Jade and Leather Necklace

A lovely 30mm square jade pendant in soft shades of olive, with a few tiny fleck of brown is the focal point of this necklace! There are several internal inclusions in the stone that give it the look of rock strata and add lots of interest! The pendant has a matte finish, and is slightly domed in the center, making it a very thick 10mm wide.

A rich chocolate brown 1mm leather cord is wrapped around the pendant for a very casual look! To hold the necklace all together, there are handmade natural copper wire findings: a large fishhook, figure eight and coils, which will all patina with wear.


The In Spring necklace is an ample 25-1/2 inches in length so you can wear it with many different outfits! It will be sent to you enclosed in a beautiful silk pouch with a zipper closure, which is suitable for gift giving or storage! Please see click on the link below to see this necklace in my Etsy shop! Thank you for looking!

Birthstone Ring in Sterling Silver
Something special for Mom!

A special birthstone ring for Mom, just in time for Mother's Day! This lovely little tassel ring is made with the birthstone colors of your family or children, and is custom made to your specifications! On the tassel ring pictured, I used 4mm Swarovski crystal cubes, but I can make this ring with round or bicones if you prefer! No two rings will be the same because the swirl on the ring depends upon the mood of the wire and the one constructing it! :)

This special little ring is for sale in my Etsy shop and on Ruebee, please click on the links below to check them out! The price quoted is for four crystals, but more can be added if needed for just a small charge. Your custom-made ring will be sent to you enclosed in a beautiful silk pouch with zipper closure which is perfect for gift giving and storage! Thank you for looking!

Please Note: If you are ordering this ring especially for Mother's Day, please be sure to order and pay for this ring on or before May 3rd! Have a Happy Mother's Day!

Grace Adornare - Freshwater Pearls and Swarovski Crystal Ring

A gorgeous combination of freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystal AB bicones, this ring that will adorn your finger with grace! The perfect gift for the bride-to-be or the one you love! The shank of the ring is wrapped in yards of a very fine gauge sterling silver wire, and is very sturdy! After the shank was completed, then I carefully wrapped the pearls and crystals into a dome shape that stands a half an inch above the shank and is 7/8 of an inch in width. The pearls and crystals completely cover the top of your finger in total elegance! The Grace Adornare ring is a size 9 (US), it will be sent to you enclosed in an organza drawstring bag, which is suitable for gift giving or storage!

The Tessa Necklace


Simply elegant OOAK five strand necklace with a beautiful dichroic pendant in shades of blue, and shifts to purple! This 22-1/2 inch long necklace is a real show stopper, and it won a ribbon at the Knox County fair in 2006!

The focal pendant was one of several pieces made in a class at I took at a local art gallery! I love how the dichroic glass just seems to glow in sunlight and it has a little tunnel at the top so the beaded strand just slides through it! The pedant alone is 2-1/8 inches in length and 7/16 at its widest point! Because I did not add the third layer of clear COE 90 dichroic glass, the surface of the pendant has some texture!

Each strand is made of peacock seed beads that are interspersed with faceted jet black Czech and is strung on a professional grade beading wire. At the back, you will find gorgeous sterling silver Bali bead cones and a sterling silver toggle clasp! For a feminine touch, there is a little dangle with Swarovski crystals and a sweet swirl at the bottom! The Tessa Necklace is a OOAK piece that would be a wonderful addition to your jewelry wardrobe! You will find it for sale on Ruebee, just click on the link below and look for the Paypal widget on my page! It will be sent to you enclosed in an elegant silk pouch with a zipper closure, suitable for gift giving or storing! Thank you for looking!
