Searching for the perfect gift for yourself, a friend, or family? Have you considered museum quality, one-of-a-kind, handcrafted semiprecious
stone beaded jewelry?

Before committing my life to liberating the learner in us all, I designed, crafted, and sold semiprecious jewelry to museum and gift shops across the United States. I still create necklaces for myself and family for special occasions, but haven't done it publicly in years because I haven't had much time. I love creating these precious gifts, though, and if I can create something for you, with you, I'd welcome the chance.

Below is a series of necklaces representative of my work. My signature necklaces are opera length (36 inches) that can be wrapped into several shorter length strands or even worn as bracelets, although I can also create necklaces of other lengths. Earrings hang from 14K gold or sterling sterling (white gold by special request). Many of the stones come from Northern Africa, where I lived in college and started making jewelry. All of the pieces I create are natural, one-of-a-kind, made to order, visually interesting, designed to sustain busy lifestyles and will enjoy finding a home with you and those you love.

If you are interested in commissioning a piece, send me email.

In joy,
