How lucky am I to be working with beautiful, natural gemstones, beads and metals!  I absolutely love it!

Before jewelry - media had been my life for the past 24 years to be exact. I was successful and very passionate about my job and career…until one day; my new love entered my life…Jewelry Designing. 

It started out by agreeing to help a dear friend at work manage a booth at a fund raising event in Los Angeles.  She created beautiful bracelets, and we were to sell them, and she was going to donate the proceeds to the event.  I expressed my interest in making jewelry, and she encouraged me to create something myself and to join here in selling product at the booth.  I ran out after work and picked up some great beads and findings, and started to let my creativity run wild. 

To my surprise, I sold 3 necklaces at the event and had some great responses.  I was so excited and kept making more and more – I started taking them to work to get feedback from my friends and co-workers - they seemed to really like my work and started to actually purchase my jewelry…and it looked great on them!  I loved the fact that it made them feel as attractive as they looked wearing it.  My friends have been very supportive here in Texas as well; my best friend seems to be buying my stuff before I can place it live on my website…good friend in N.Y. is helping me get on a new home shopping network…I’m really blessed - lots of exciting things going on!

Oh, and since I love wearing jewelry, I always keep quality control in mind – I use premium materials and take time looking over the finished product for fine tuning. 

I did stop doing custom orders - I found that it was very hard for me to create someone else’s vision, or use someone else’s gemstones to make something. 

I would love to hear any suggestions or comments, so drop me an email – I check it often

P.S.: If you see something you like, I’d recommend grabbing it right away – I have a hard time duplicating my work, so I only do one- of a kind’s.
