Since I was very young I have had a love of jewelry. Summers were spent playing "dress-up" and stringing buttons into necklaces and bracelets while my mother sewed. There are many family photos of me draped in my mother's jewelry and the "button" jewelry that I had made.

Once I began raising a family there was little time for making jewelry for fun. A few years ago I made jewelry to wear for the events at my daughter's wedding. Many people asked about my handmade jewelry and suggested that I try to market it to some of the local boutiques.

Considering their suggestion I wanted to have a greater knowledge about materials and design. I began to collect books and magazines, and set up a studio in my home to learn new techniques and skills. In 2005 I began to sell my jewelry at a local boutique. Within months I was able to open my own gallery featuring my jewelry and soon added hadmade soy candles and natural bath salts.

Today, bringing you unique designer handmade jewelry using precious metals, gemstones and Swarovski crystals, is my passion. You may select from my one-of-a-kind collection or request a custom design just for you. I look forward to making jewelry for you, and I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoy making it.

Best regards,
