Today’s presentation is a beautiful Southwestern Style Tribal Blue Turquoise Nugget Stones from Africa and Red Branch Coral Necklace with Silver Metal accents and genuine Baroque Freshwater Pearls.
My one-of-a-kind handcrafted jewelry art creations will stand the in its uniqueness and beauty when worn by reflecting elements of fashion and design in nature as a testament of natural beauty, culture and craftsmanship. It is my hope that you find enjoyment and appreciation for the designs I have lovingly made with the enthusiasm of our current times.
My pricing reflects the availability and cost of gemstones, new and vintage beads and other distinguishing materials available at the time of creation, the design and quality of materials. Some pieces are designed with less than perfect inclusions, antique and manufactured techniques to make them appear aged. However, some metal findings are meant to look old, rough and worn which does not detract from the overall appearance but rather enhances the individual uniqueness of each piece.
I use new items, but occasionally I will incorporate recycled vintage into my designs that have stood the test off time. I use only natural and organic materials whenever possible, this is to included semi-precious and precious stones & beads, freshwater pearls, wood, glass, (due to expense, a limited amount of handcrafted hand-blown glass beads) sterling silver, pewter silver and combined mixed metals strung on jewelry wire; and of course genuine Baltic Amber in my Viking designed pieces.
You are not purchasing just a piece of jewelry, but a wearable art piece expressing who you are. These are NOT “mass” produced items from China, but a handcrafted cottage industry product made by me and are one-of-a-kind. Thank you for your understanding.
