Silver Shield

This is one of my favorite silver pieces. It looks like a shield but has the close detail that I love. It's strong and feminine--my favorite combination!

Beaded bead earrings

I love these long, swinging teal and purple earrings with their gorgeous raku oval pendants. They are fun to wear and go with so many of my clothes. I guess I have a pretty specific color range!

Here's a detail of the beaded bead:

Another Temptation

Here is another colorway of Sweet Temptations. This one pairs a gold Swarvoski rivoli in the center with teal and purple beads.

Sweet Temptation

Here is one of my versions of the Sweet Temptations pendant, a design by Sabine Lippert. I love making Sabine's complex and structural designs. In this one, a sparkling Swarovski rivoli is surrounded by pink, purple, and green beads. Sweet indeed!

Hawaiian Canoe bracelet


My goal is to be better about photographing my jewelry and actually posting it on here. You can see I'm a bit behind. I made this piece during my visit to Oahu last year. It evokes the rich wood and landscape of the island. The raised sections remind me of Hawaiian canoes.

Triangle earrings

The triangle is my favorite shape. It represents equality and balance and flatters the shape of any face. These purple triangles with the black accents remind me of stained glass windows.

Here's a version in red and pink:

Autumn Mandala



This piece is made from 14 different types of beads woven together for a meditative effect. This one was challenging because of all the different sizes and colors of beads, but the mandala design helped soothe me as I wove it.
