Featured Pieces

"Grace Kelly"
This necklace was inspired by a photograph of Grace Kelly I saw in a magazine. She was wearing a pink Chanel suit and a necklace that looked quite similar to this one, though I suspect you could add quite a few zeros to the price tag! 5 strands of high-grade white freshwater pearls and silver plate beads with a silver plate slider clasp make up this lovely choker necklace.
$250

"Rockhound's Delight"
The Rockhound's Delight bracelet was conceived as a challenge to the members of my local gem club - I made a sterling silver charm bracelet and included one of every kind of 8mm gemstone bead in my collection, and then challenged the "rockhounds" to name them all! So far, no one has got them all correct... The bracelet is 21 cm long but, due to the bulk of the beads, fits a medium (19-20cm) wrist well. It weighs just over 60 grams (almost 3oz) and all the metal is sterling silver, including the strong spring-ring clasp.
$150

Filigree Crown

Filigree Crown
SOLD The crown contains 246 (I counted) individually sized and soldered pieces of silver, 16 moonstones, 2 sapphires, an emerald, a ruby, a blue topaz, a white topaz, a citrine and an amethyst. And it took me 2 months to make. Was I crazy, or what?
