This is a Small Gold and Diamond Pendant with a Hint of Edginess
If you’ve looked at any of my work you’ll notice that gentle curves and angles are kind of a thing for me. I love the edge a piece has when there are two opposing elements like the combination of a gentle curve with a sharp point. Something like my new Lyric Warrior pendant. The shield shape gives a bold edge to a petite pendant and the smaller size makes such a great everyday necklace. It’s a great size to wear layered with other pieces but distinct enough to be killer on its own. Make sure you check out my online...
Beautiful Gold Earrings for Your Elegant Spring Days
I’ve come to the conclusion this winter that I am allergic to the cold. Not in a scary epi-pen/anaphylaxis sort of way. More of a “the core of my being really detests being cold” sort of way. Maybe that was the impetus of my new Lyric collection. The core of my being *really* wants spring to get here. Now. This collection really feels like Spring to me. A season about the delicacy and grace happening all around us and the strength and power that is growing as well.I love the gentle curves, the bold style, the elegant shapes of this...

When a Jewelry Designer Goes M.I.A., Good Thing Happen
Hey there! It’s been a while. I’ve been busy in the studio. When that happens I pretty much become a hermit. Seriously. If I could just get my husband to bring me food at regular intervals, I wouldn’t leave my bench for weeks! I've made a new collection and I’m calling the it the Lyric Collection. I love that these pieces are smaller in scale, but they’re not dainty little pieces. I don’t do dainty. This is one of my favorite pieces from the new collection. I love the movement of these earrings and their size. They are earrings that...
Bold Gold, Pearl, and Sapphires Are a Twist on Jewelry Classics
It’s a cold and rainy Friday here and while I’m settled in doing my morning work with a hot beverage I thought I’d share these pieces with you. Not only do I love the pic (of course I do, I took it!), but I love this earring and necklace combination from my Closed Hourglass Collection. I love pearls in any shape or form, but what I love about these pearls is that while they are a twist on the traditional round pearl they are still timeless. Combine that with the sapphires (also a classic jewelry pairing) and bold design and...
Rainbows of Color Created by the Most Unique Gemstone, Opals!
Well, the month of October is almost over and I would be remiss in my resident gem-nerd duties if I didn’t write about opals. So pull up a chair and get cozy...here we go! Opal is one of the birthstones for October. (The other is pink tourmaline, but that is a whole ‘nother post.) Most people know what an opal looks like, but do you know why it looks that way? (Here comes the geeky science part.) Opal is formed when rainwater passes through silica-rich rock and trickles down to meet a temporarily high water table. As the water table...
