About
Me & My Jewelry
I've
been artistic for as long as I remember,
At the present time, I am finding the most joy in
creating jewelry from wire and beads.
Mostly a prefer gemstones,
but I use a variety of bead materials like; pearls, glass, wood,
bone, clay, nuts and other materials from Mother Earth,
to combine with my wire work.
Some
of my pieces include Precious Metal Clay (PMC). This is
a clay-like material that I mold and fire to create a
pure silver piece of art. If this is used in a piece, it will be
listed in the description.
The wire I use is Sterling
Silver,
but I have included 14K gold-filled and
copper wire as well. I use sterling silver
beads from Thailand,
India, Bali, Turkey,
Israel and
some other countries as well. No plated silver is used.
Each piece I create is a journey.
Sometimes I know where the journey will end and
sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I travel with another;
those are the times that someone requests a custom piece
with the materials and colors that they choose.
I very much enjoy co-creating the jewelry in this
way. The wearer enjoys taking part in the creating of
their jewelry as well.
Please contact me if you are attracted to
specific gemstones,
or other materials, or colors that you would like
to have made into a piece of jewelry. You may see a
design on this site that you like, but would prefer different stones or
colors used in the piece. I am very accommodating to
create just what you are wanting.
The metaphysical
properties of the gemstones are of much interest
to me, and I also am interested in the effect that
colors have on our well being. In my own life I have seen the results of this,
for example, wearing amethyst gives me a clear
perspective, an inner knowing; and the color
blue brings me to a place of
peace and comforting.
When a piece of jewelry is complete, it goes into a
copper Genesa Crystal for a few hours to a few days. Upon
placing the piece into this sacred geometrical form, I infuse each piece
with healing energy from the non-physical realm, and its'
energy is raised. I also intend that the piece bring
healing to the wearer, whoever that may come to be. Our
intents and beliefs are very powerful. Go to the Genesa
Crystal page to view and learn more about it. I also
create and sell these in different sizes if you
desire to own one.
I
suggest that when deciding on a piece of jewelry for
yourself or a friend, that you trust your Inner Wisdom. Usually the
one that stands out to you or that you feel most drawn
to, is the one that will assist you most. Trust
your Self in this. Much has been documented about the
healing powers of sacred geometry and gemstones. But no
need to have these same beliefs to enjoy the beauty of
each piece.
If you have any questions about me
or my jewelry, or would like to place an order please contact me via mail,
phone, or email. I will usually respond within a day.
Namaste
- I honor the Spirit in you that is also in me.
