A customer of mine recently ordered this bracelet and I thought it was so cute, I just had to share.  It's a great example of 'customizing your own' by adding the heart swirl charms and stones to a heart bracelet.  My customers have the best ideas!  Enjoy! …

Speaking of semi-precious stones!  My assistant, Heidy (who is awesome!) has been busy preparing all my new semi-precious stones to be available for add-ons to my necklaces and bracelets.  I carefully h and -picked a stone or two that would represent each birth month.  They are all different and will look great added to necklaces and bracelets.  Here is a teaser of a Gr and ma necklace I just designed - it has a silver puffed heart, a garnet, a sapphire and a fresh water pearl - all hang …

I love this Mom necklace - it is really shiny (called high-polish) with a one point diamond embedded in the charm.  It has a dressy look to it, but looks great with jeans and a t-shirt.  I've been wearing it with four of my new semi-precious stones (that I am about to add to my site) and it is so pretty and dainty, with splashes of color from the stones.  A great gift for any mom. …

Just added - these cute matching sister necklaces. One sterling teardrop charm h and stamped with "Big Sis" and one is stamped with "Lil Sis".  A sterling puffed heart and pink cultured pearl hang on each side of the charms.  These necklaces are just so sweet and dainty.  My daugter loves hers (she has Big Sis only, since she has two younger brothers) and wears it to school to let everyone know what a proud big sis she is. …

This little "Book of Love" is the latest addition to my line.  I made this sample for my sister, and there is one page for each of her boys.  It makes them each feel special when she wears it, and it's a cute Mommy statement that she can wear all day. The possibilities for this necklace are endless - anything you say to your kids or your honey, or any words or names you'd like to wear but also keep kind of discreet can be put in this book.  It's just a fun little addition that I hope to do m …

What exactly is gold-filled jewelry?  Gold-filled charms and chains are a great economical option to solid 14 karat gold.  It looks and feels the same as 14 karat, but is much cheaper to purchase.   In fact, gold-filled has a solid layer of 14 karat gold in contact with your eyes and skin, so it really is like having solid 14 karat from a look and feel perspective.   Gold filled jewelry (also called gold overlay) is regulated by law, and must have a 1/20th (by weight) layer of 14 karat …

Yippee, I found myself with a bit of 'free' time today so added another new product, the Sterling Heart on Gold Disc, to my site.  This one is very different as it is one of my first mixed metal pieces.  I took a gold-filled 5/8" disc and overlayed a sterling heart with the name Alex on it.  I then domed the whole piece to give it a rounded look.  It was fun to make and I love the look of the two different metals together.  This looks great with a sterling chain but if you'd prefer gold, you …

I have a few new designs on my site that I recently added, and I have been busy this summer creating lots of other new items that haven't gotten past the assembly and photography stage.  But those will be added to my site soon, as well, a piece at a time.You can see all the new items at once by going to the What's New page on my site.  What you'll see there now is my new line of Initial Necklaces, all of which can be bought with or without a chain.  They can be added to a pieice of jewelry you a …
