Seattle Collection

The dreary Boston summer has inspired lots of rainy day colors. Here's a few shots of my latest work.

One Necklace, Many Options

I've been having fun wearing my new stone set in variety of different styles. Here are four of the options I've tried

A Birthday Gift for My 30-year Old Sis!

My sister turned the big 3-0 this weekend. Here's a picture of the necklace set I designed for her.

Valentine's Day Sparkle

I designed this necklace set last week while watching the super bowl. Don't ask me how football inspired this delicate pearl and crystal set?! Anyway, it's a nice piece to add to my inventory around Valentine's day. Ladies ~ let me know if you want me to drop hints to your man! This piece is for sale.

Variety Adds a Little Spice!

Lately I've been making more pieces with this blue, turquiose and silver theme. I've also strayed away from simple patterns and started making 'theme' beads in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and colors to use in the same necklace. I think it adds a little spice and variety to the designs.

Another Holiday Smile

Here's a picture of my sister-in-law modeling her Christmas gift. This is the 2nd necklace set that I made with black and white beads. The other was fashioned in a shorter choker style.

Sister's Debut in Crimson Snowflake Set

Somehow my sister has managed to dodge the blog for almost a year. What an incredible ability to hide from my camera! Here she is wearing a crimson snowflake set that I gave her this Christmas. This is the sister that designed my blog header and logo. She's both talented and beautiful!

Silver Framed Pendant

Today I designed a silver framed pendant. For this project, I used blue and green pearl based clay to give it rich ocean feel. Once I was happy with the clay pattern, I pressed a sterling silver ring into the clay to create the raised look. Hopefully, the recipient of this Christmas gift isn't checking my blog. :-)

Christmas Ideas

I'm starting to plan Christmas jewelry ideas for friends and family. Last year, I did my best to design pieces that fit the recipent's favorite colors and styles. Attached are 2 of my top picks from last Christmas.
