I love creating one of a kind pieces of wearable art! I began my journey into jewelry making in 2002. I travel to the world’s largest Gem Show in Tucson, Arizona to find my stones and unique jewelry components. I meet people from all over the world there with a common love of nature’s treasures. I use several techniques to create everything from simply strung pieces to wire wrapped pieces and my work with Precious Metal Clay. I create everything from small dainty pieces to large chunky ones. i like to have something for everyone in my inventory. I have a large number of return Customers who stop by my booth in Scotts Valley each year.
Most of my pieces are one of a kind. I use Gemstones and precious metals such as Sterling Silver, Vermeil and Copper. I use various techniques to create my pieces which makes for a nice variety of styles. I keep up on trends and design jewelry with them in mind. Wire wrapping stones into chain, creating pieces with Precious Metal Clay and firing them in my kiln, as well as hand knotting pearl necklaces are common techniques for me.
