Four Corners

Some people like to visit the four corners and stand in four states once – but they can’t because they only have two feet!  Well, take a look at how many feet are in this piece!

Here is a wonderful uptake on the fetish necklace:  nuggets, rounds, ovals, squares, disks; you name the shape and you’ll find them here.  The stones?  Genuine turquoise, amber, lapis, serpentine, carnelian, aquamarine, chrysocolla and goldstone all mix with art glass beads and carved fetishes of turquoise, rutilated quartz, serpentine and agate.

Two luscious strands, 18” end to end.  Sterling toggle closure; this is a commissioned re-make.

White Mountain

Ahhh, backcountry camping, hiking into the wilderness, dancing with leaves, and wearing this fantastic treasure necklace!  What could be better?

Here is another re-make commissioned piece.  Again, what a wonderful mix of shapes and stones: rounds, nuggets and rondelles of amber, malachite, goldstone, hawk’s-eye, aventurine, rutilated quartz and agate join forces with African trade and other glass beads, delicate carved mother of pearl birds and sterling silver melon beads.  Hanging as simple yet eye-catching centerpiece is a sterling silver rabbit and sterling silver feather.

Flowers for Mother’s Day

Just like the name says:

Here we have a simple strand of freshwater pearls, highlighted with clusters of pink and iridescent lavender flowerets which are hand-formed by the artist of Czech half-moons with garnet centers.  Czech art glass leaves, faceted opalite briolettes, faceted lavender jade briolettes and green freshwater pearl complete this feminine and airy piece.

Springtime In Alaska

White, green, and blue all around, bears frolicking with the Caribou, and even Nanook himself has a little twinkle in his eye.  Yup, must be springtime!

Such is evidenced by this pretty, feminine piece which consists of alternating freshwater pearls and opalite rondelles offset by clusters of green jade briolettes, Czech glass art leaves, and delicate flowerets made by the artist from Czech glass AB light blue and pale lavender crescents and pearls, all separated by tiny, shining silver Czech glass seed beads. 

Aunty Em

“Aunty Em” is a simple yet elegant piece which stands out remarkably well against many different colors.  Puffed turquoise ovals lead the eye to two genuine amethyst fans, which guide one further to the focal point of genuine Sleeping Beauty (heat treated) purple – yes, it’s really purple! – turquoise.  Bali sterling silver endcaps, beads and flowers highlight the stones in this marvelous showpiece of a necklace, which ends in a Bali sterling silver “S”- clasp. 

Meet Me In St Louis

Camera’s clicking from the top of the arch!  What are they taking pictures of?  Busch Stadium? The Riverfront?  No, it’s the lady walking under the arch wearing this necklace! 

Cabo San Lucas

These may not the famous rocks on the point, but they sure are pretty!

Elegant in its simplicity, this choker is made of nothing but Caribbean blue Peruvian opal nuggets and rounds, sparked with micro-faceted genuine rock crystal and tiny sterling silver rounds. Acting as focal is a magnificentbead-capped gel Peruvian opal. 

Pomp and Circumstance

Only the best students get necklaces like this for graduation!  (Especially if they’re the artist’s daughters!)

And in their school colors of rich purple and gold, no less!

Genuine stones of semi-precious amethyst and citrine are presented in laser-sharp faceted nugget cuts, and are separated by tiny gold vermeil nugget spacers.
