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.

Essence of Turquoise


This subtly opalescent, pale and translucent necklace is made with a Turquoise pendant, Czech pressed glass & Onyx beads accented with sterling silver. My handmade, necklace accompanies soft & delicate dangle earrings.
Necklace: 18 1/2 "
Earrings: 2"

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.

Chocolate Decadence


I sketch down the design before I put it to its perfection. Sometimes sketches work and sometimes they don't. I learn as I go...see how the idea unfolds.

Whimsical mix of Round Chocolate beads matched with a delicate pendant stationed with a bold swirl strung along with miyuki beads & fresh water pearls
