Love's Blush
From my "Face Off" line of jewelry (2004), hand crafted in fine silver, this is the face of a gal in love - her cheeks are hearts - her eyes sparkling like diamonds. (CZ's). The face measures 7/8" in diameter. The bottom of her face holds a sterling silver star and two chains that end off in vintage Freshwater Pearls and Blue Topaz, Peridot and Iolite. The chain is sterling silver. The toggle clasp is hand crafted in fine silver. The choker measures 15-1/2" and the rondelle beads are Garnet, BlueTopaz, Peridot, Citrine and Iolite in about 4 mm. There are vintage freshwater pearls in between each color. The pierced earrings are sterling wires with vintage freshwater Pearls, Blue Topaz, Peridot and Iolite and measures 5/8" long. The scan does not give a true sense of the beauty of this set. Silver is tough to scan... it shows a color that just is not there. This is a gorgeous set that is waiting for the right woman to share Love's Blush. The retail value of the beads alone is $40.00.

Man's Fall
This piece took me weeks to design and create. Inspired by Nature vs Man, this piece is made from an actual October Autumn (Fall) Leaf. There are layers of silver over the leaf with a face of man on top. There is a fire opal bezel set on the slide area. This is all hand maniuplated fine silver.

Lion's Roar
Created with fine silver this Royal Lion has clear Cubic Zirconia eyes and a man made Ruby in it's mouth. This was designed using a mold from an original antique piece, with the bale being hand designed. I matched this Lion up with fiery red colored glass chips, freshwater dyed pearls, bali daisy spacers and black matte finished glass seed beads. The clasp is an S type made of fine silver. This is my favorite piece to date - I was inspired by the signs Leo and Aries, both fire signs and my father, who possessed the baby like qualities of Aries and the roar of Leo. Designed in choker style - so the Lion would be close to the throat area - this piece measures 16" long. Pierced sterling silver lever back earrings using the same design as the choker and they measures 1-3/4" long. You'll surely turn heads with this set!

Aurora Moon
Lovely Sterling Silver Y Necklace with Pressed Aurora Borealis Czech Glass Moon Face and Pastel Swarovski Crystals.

At the top of of the AB Moon Face are pastel colored swarovski crystals in green, yellow, blue, orange, pink and lavender.

Beau Monde
Beau Monde which is French for the world of high society and fashion! Amazingly beautiful and flowing, this 16" choker is made with sterling silver round chain links and dangles of dyed Pink Fresh Water Pearls, Light Pink & Pink Swarovski Bicone Crystals in two sizes and Antique finished Daisy Spacers. The choker itself has 4 small dangles and then in the center are three long chains in various lengths with the longest measuring 4 inches. There are matching pierced wire earrings that measure 2". This is a stunning set that would most certainly receive compliments! The colors are not captured well in the scan and it looks faded... I did try several times! The glare of silver vs the scanning glass just doesn't do this justice. You WILL LOVE IT!

Y Not Lavender
Y Not Lavender? This is a Sterling Silver Lavender and White Fresh Water Pearl Y Necklace with matching pierced wire Earrings. Dyed Lavender Fresh Water Button Pearls with White Button Pearls are just part of the beauty of this set. There is a long and short Sterling Silver Link Chain - and the best part...an EXTENDER if you need it! Two Sterling Silver Clasps allow you to make this from 15-1/2" to 17-1/4" in length. There are two pearls and three antique finished daisy spacers on the upper chain. There is a connector at the bottom that has a FW Pearl on either side and a Lavender Pearl which is connected to more chain with more pearls. This is so pretty and unlike any design I've done this far. The pierced wire earrings have that flowery connector as well giving the earrings the appearance of chandeliers. Please accept my apology for the washed out colors in the can! The colors are not so blah. The earrings hang down 1-3/8" long.
