I was born to create and I am fortunate to be blessed
with a natural sense of color and balance. As a teenager
I would make my own clothes because I liked unusual and
unique styles. I didn't want what others were wearing...
I wanted to stand out and be seen as an individual. I
even made my own prom dress and designed my own wedding
dress. My love for fashion led me to become a professional
model at age 16, which brought me even closer to the
fashion world. After I married and became a full-time mom
I designed a line of children's clothing because I couldn't
find any cute boy fashions that I liked.
In recent years I've become interested in beads because
there are so many unique possibilities for artistic
expression. I initially started making necklaces for myself
because I wanted jewelry that was functional,
unique and
not high maintenance. Immediately friends and co-workers
started wanting my designs. They became so
popular that I
decided to follow my true passion by leaving the corporate
world and starting my own design
business.
Each one of my designs are personally hand-made by me
with
love. I hand pick stones that have unique markings
and
color. Vendors will often hand me a string of
stones such
as onyx and tell me that they are perfect
quality, as they
are solid black and beautifully polished.
I tell them that
I am actually looking for stones that have individual
lines, striations and colors, because to
me that is more
unique and interesting.
My designs are bold, Zenish and chic. My bigger pieces
are
designed to "make a statement", and to be worn as a
center
piece, while others are designed to enhance an
outfit,
while not overpowering it. Since I don't mass
produce, I
buy a limited amount of stones and therefore
some designs
are one-of-a-kind and others are limited
series. Every
component is top quality, even down to a
special sterling
silver clasp with an easy on-and-off
function.
I am pleased that my jewelry has brought happiness to so
many others and I hope it brings the same to you!
Thank you for visiting.
