Rosy-Pink Rhodonite

Rhodonite is an opaque, deep-rosy-pink gemstone with black veins. Rhodonite has long been considered a strong, feminine stone that is believed to help the nervous system, self esteem and to balance trauma.

This necklace is composed of 3.5 mm Rhodonite beads with two little freeform Sterling hearts. The pendant is 1" at it's widest and is a Sterling silver freeform star with heart in the center.

What's in a Word?

So, what's in a word? We express ourselves in so many creative ways. I believe if it speaks volumes to you, then it will for others as well. So go ahead, express yourself....

Wheels Of Time

Let's see.......what to do with all those tiny little Vintage wheels, gears and spare watch parts? I incorporated them into their own little pendant and made it a part of this unique and fun necklace. Four beautiful handmade Lampwork beads and Vintage brass charms including a little watchface make this piece stunning to wear. Check it out at: http://www.tuscanroad.etsy.com/

Happy Halloween

This is one of my favorite times of the year. The leaves are turning, the weather is cooler and there is just that overall "feeling" as we approach the Holidays.

Happy Halloween!

The Color Purple

One of my favorite colors....it can be cool with Silver or warm with Copper or Gold. Purple is a group of colors with a hue somewhere between violet and red. It is often worn as a symbol of royalty, religious rank or high office. Here I show a lovely and varied mix of jewelry ideas in this beautiful color...charms, Pearl, Crystal, Iolite, Amethyst, even an infant bracelet.

More Spoons

I wonder who once used this Sterling Silver demi spoon? Now it's a beautiful necklace pared with three Gemstone charms of faceted Aquamarine, faceted Cherry Quartz and a yellow Serpantine tulip.

The other is a beautiful little Sterling salt spoon. It is 2 3/8" with a 5/8" bowl. The twisted handle has decorative openwork at the top. It is pared with two charms of Swarovski Crystal, Sterling and Pearl. For more info, check out http://tuscanroad.etsy.com/

Turquoise Turquoise

A lovely stone, Turquoise is one of the most recognized semiprecious gemstones in existence. It is considerably softer than Quartz and therefore is usually treated in some way for stability.It occurs naturally in shades ranging from sky blue to grey-green. The color variations are caused by the quantities of copper, iron or chromium in the soil. Different colors come from different regions and states. Turquoise is a beautiful and wonderful stone to work with and here are a few of my favorite pieces.
