A mixed media artist & jeweler, I love creating & have spent most of my career in art shows, galleries, studio tours. Now, adding the internet gives the opportunity to share with people worldwide. I design & create my own "one-of" pieces but also share my passion for vintage jewelry, offering unique, hand chosen quality pieces as well in my shop. Etsy is a wonderfully diverse venue for artist & vintage & we appreciate your support.

My creations reflect my the love for the natural world. Our planet is amazing with a huge array of mysteries & treasures including beautiful gemstones. This beauty & diversity excites my creativity. I feel fortunate to create & hoping to bringing others closer to loving our natural world.

I have an infinity for fine detail which shows in each of my unique metal smithed or hand beaded pieces. Choosing quality supplies, sterling, 14k & 18k or 14k gold filled, beautiful natural gemstones, dichroic & lamp work glass as well as the best quality bead cord I’ve found, "Accuflex" & protecting the cord ends with wire guards will ensure longevity of the beaded jewelry.

Gravitating toward enduring, timeless designs, you won't see dozens of the same piece. My desire is to create beauty that will be cherished for a life time, not just a season. I include info about the gems & metals you are buying on a card with each purchase. I use good metals but if the design includes brass or plated metal it's typically a vintage embossed stampings & will used so it has contact no with skin. **Most Modern plated metals have no longevity & end up in junk jewelry piles. It's worth investing a little more on quality.

Please remember vintage items are not always perfect but I restore & make sure findings & rhinestones are secure & describe any damage to the best of my knowledge on the listing. I research & list available information on the vintage designers, too.

I reuse, recycle & try to choose products that are mined by small mining operations or by hand.

I appreciate being including in your journey & hope you enjoy exploring my creations as well as my extraordinary vintage jewelry line. I’m thrilled each time someone choses a special piece for their collection & would love help to find that perfect piece for you.
