What can I say?  I love making jewelry!  This has been my full time job since 1999.  There is so much to learn and try.  The possibilities are endless!  Nothing beats sitting down at my work table and just playing!  I never know what I am going to make each day or how the piece will turn out until I am completely done with it.  I am a bit of a perfectionist so some pieces may take a few tries okay maybe many tries until they are just the way I want them.  I use only gemstones, freshwater pearls and sterling silver in my designs.  I frequent bead and gem shows and stores to hand pick the gems and pearls.   I also love color!  I find myself drawn to gemstones of bright colors or those reminiscent of the beach as that is one of my most favorite places in the world!  Stamping, sawing, oxidizing, filing, soldering, wire wrapping and stringing are some of the processes I use to create my jewelry.   I select only top grade stones and hold myself to the highest standard of workmanship.  If I wouldn't wear it then I don't put it out there.  On a personal note I am married to a wonderful man who supports my dreams and we have four children who love to pitch in and help.  During busy times they put labels on the boxes and tissue in the bags.  I feel quite blessed and thank each of my customers a million times over.  Remember, there's no such thing as too much jewelry!
