Trinkets made by yours truly. I let my imagination run wild. In these harsh, cold and sometimes ever so beautiful winters of Wisconsin I find solace in creating things that shine, sparkle and dazzle.
I work with an array of different stones, precious and semiprecious to create one of a kind design. I always sketch down my designs before implementing them into something unique.

Pink


A collection of matt rose czech beads with faceted onyx beads & accented with sterling plated beads makes this simple, clean and pure for anyone who loves this combination. Necklace is strung on sterling plated beading cable ending in a toggle clasp. Earrings to match are also just as pure & simple
The necklace is 18". Can be made shorter or longer per preference.
Earrings are 2" long I played around with these Pink CZ Beads for a while before this idea trickled in.
Pink Matte Czech Glass Beads whimsically accented with Sterling Silver & Onyx Oval faceted beads matched with sliver lined miyuki beads makes this a delicate and pure necklace.
Necklace is 18" long with a SS Toggle Clasp.

Dew Drops


My daughter wanted something simple to go with her black dress for her String Concerts. "Pearls mum PEARLS" is what she asked for...so here we are. I took 2 A Grade White Pearls accented them with Sterling Silver Daisy Spacers & hand formed the head pins to fit the delicate holes of the pearls.
Dew Drops for my first born!!
The earrings are 1 1/4" inches long

Mine


A delicate balance of FW Pearls, Red Coral Squares & faceted Onyx beads makes this my first attempt at a bracelet & I was tempted to keep it! :)

GO GREEN

I used ceramic green beads matched with recycled copper spacers & handknoted lenin cord to makes this "Green".

The beads have a hint of earthen tones making this pair a perfect match for any browns, blacks or even yellows!
The necklace is 21" in length & the earrings delicately dangle at 2 1/2" on pewter/copper earwires.
