Custom Jewelry

|
I have created special pieces for friends, clients,
and myself, some of which are shown on this page. The bracelet above
was designed around an antique button that I purchased at a local shop.
This three strand piece is made with black onyx and hematite
chips, accented with orange agate beads.
I can create earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and anklets
using many different types of material. If you would like a custom
piece, please email me to discuss materials, stones and their properties,
design options, prices, ect. Thank you and Blessed Be! )0(

Ceramic Kitty Earrings
|
Earrings are one of the most fun types of jewelry to
make. They are quick, and even complex designs are relatively easy to
create. I use a variety of beads for my earrings, some are: semi-precious
stones, Swarovski crystals, glass beads, clay and ceramic beads.
These cute kitties were made with ceramic cat shaped
beads and unakite stones.

Bracelets can be made fancy or simple. Stones can be
combined with beads on elastic cord, pearls strung on delicate silk
thread, or crystals intricately woven with tiny glass "seed beads"
to create interesting designs. I can use multiple strands, decorative
spacers, charms, and uniquely styled clasps. Bracelets can be enlarged
in size to create complimentary anklets as well. Tiny bells are a whimsical
addition to anklets.
This fluorite stone bracelet is a great example of how
a simple design is enhanced by using a special clasp, in this case a
sun interlocking with a crescent moon.

Labradorite Necklace
|
Necklaces offer a wide range of options, from the types
of beads to use to the stringing materials and clasps. I like to experiment
with different ways of stringing the beads on a custom necklace.
For this labradorite necklace I wanted the beading wire
to almost disappear, allowing the stones to come forward and sort of
"float" around the neck of the wearer. These are rough cut
labradorite stones that have been polished on the tops to make a beautiful
iridescent sheen that you see when the stones catch the light. Labradorite
is an excellent stone for divination, and I wear this necklace when
doing aura drawings and working with a pendulum.
My Bastet necklace features a pendant with a picture
of the Egyptian cat goddess, Bast, one of my favorite deities to work
with. This pendant was given to me as a gift, and it deserved a special
necklace. I made this necklace with a double leather cord and large
tumbled stones to give it a more casual feel. This is a piece I can
wear every day, it is stylish yet informal, and the neutral colors combine
well with any outfit.

Bastet Necklace

Pendants are an excellent way to accent a special necklace,
or wear on a simple elegant chain. Some of my pendants are very elaborate,
with dangling charms, stones, and even feathers. Others are simple unique
crystal wrapped in metal wire to decorate the natural shape of the stone.
Pictured is a piece of coral, originally light tan and
dyed to a striking red. I wrapped it in silver wire creating a three
dimensional effect, so it can be worn different ways.
