The Oceania pendant design features the theme sailing on the seas of life with the stones you would want on your journey: carnelian for energy, labradorite for intuition and amazonite for hope, wrapped in recycled copper and sterling silver. Now I'm designing the matching choker and earrings. Check back to see the exquisite set that you know is meant to be  yours!

For a lovely client who desired labradorite, jasper and peach moonstone in a "Power" pendant with the healing power of copper and a touch of silver.

Love the stones!

Perfect any time for the special person in your heart: Peruvian Pink Opal is so elegant, and this pair (50.3 carats) will be a dramatic earring set in sterling silver.  The green tourmaline pair from the Himalaya Mine will become a sweet earring set -- green tourmaline brings joy! And at right, a moonstone from India with luxurious adularescence nestled in a geode with two small blue beads of chalcedony from Peru. Soon to be a Reconfigured Art Jewelry design that I will take such joy in creating!

A delightful young woman is enjoying this bracelet of unakite, prehnite, carnelian, copper and sterling silver. Her sweet mama chose it as a special gift!

This Sea Goddess brooch design of silver, lapis, crystals and azurite with Love Knot hand-dyed silk ribbons was created for a bride in Phoenix who loved it and asked for a separate set for herself as a keepsake! Choose your gemstones and silks in the bride's wedding colors at the Jan. 13 Forever Communication's Bridal Show "Engaging Moments," at the Carl Perkins Civic Center, noon to 5 p.m. Or choose RCF's sterling silver Chatelaine belt buckles with gemstones and crystals to be worn with hand-dyed silk sashes. The Chatelaine belt buckles are an RCF design by Jacque! You'll love the elegant silver that symbolizes a time of reflection and illumination for the way forward. And so much more for the bride, groom and the bridal party. See you there! (And here's a hint: If the dresses don't have a shoulder, all you need is double-sided body and clothing tape used by fashionistas everywhere!)

Sun Goddess

How to start the New Year? Creating, of course. When I was in L.A. for the holidays, I sat in the sunshine in my suite on the beach with cool jazz flowing and let the joy flow into my fingertips. From that moment, I wanted to share Sun Goddess, swirling in copper, a touch of opal, with a lovely fire opal in the center, citrine for prosperity and wealth, and amethyst for courage, shown on a hand-dyed silk choker, created of Fallen Leaves and the Midas Touch.

Creating Sea Change

Hope you enjoy the next several months as I post photos of my newest designs. One shipment is headed to the Feminine Mystique Art Gallery in Tubac, AZ. at the end of August. Here's a photo of Sea Change. The shell shape guided the design toward an Oriental influence. Enjoy!
