Spicy Bling in Copper

This spicy hot design is highlighted by the glass lampwork beads in swirls of grey, brown, black/blue, yellow/gold, and browns just to name a few. Copper accents between white natural Magnesite gemstone nuggets and crystals; copper toggle and dangle earrings in the same stones finish off the sassy set.


Magnesite promotes relaxation and a positive attitude to life. It removes negative feelings, reduces oversensitivity and said to lift depression.

A Designers Thoughts

When I first started my jewelry business I did a lot of research. I looked at designs, searched the net on trends, colors, and fashions; I read any book, magazine or website I could get my hands on about the jewelry business and industry. I take a look back from time to time and see how my designs and busienss are evolving.

Early on the designs were simple and didn’t use hardly any wire techniques. After a few wire working classes, I was hooked and now love to design something that incorporates the wire as more of an accent to the beauty of the natural gemstones.

Now many comment on how bold, exotic and trendy my designs have become. When designing, I look to the stones to lead me in a direction; either from the color combinations or just by adding metals, glass or crystals makes it stand out.

One thing as an Artist I’ve learned, I’m my worst critic and need to learn that not having the perfect fit or completed look is all part of the creative handcrafted style that makes me an Artist.

I’m still searching the net, looking at jewelry, designs, trends, colors, and fashions; but mostly, I look to my customers, because the jewelry is a pure reflection of their personality and who they are.

If there is but one piece of advice I could give…it’s go with your instincts, never give in, learn to be flexible and above all have fun with what you do and enjoy your creations.

Red Hot Coral

Coral has been around for thousands of years; it is not a mineral but a skeleton of sea creatures, making coral an organic in origin. Developed over many thousands of years, it consists almost entirely of calcium.








Looking at history and legend; the ancient Egyptians placed pieces of coral in tombs as a protection against evil spirits because they believed that each piece contained a drop of divine blood. According to Greek mythology, when Perseus chopped off the head of Gorgon Medusa, some drops of blood splashed into the sea and there solidified into coral.

The healing properties say coral protects against negative energy while also preventing loss of energy, diplomacy, quieting emotions, and visualization.


Its magical properties symbolize joy and happiness, it enables the wearer to enjoy life; according to legend it consists of divine blood as we have already learned. Red coral is associated with Scorpio, black coral with Capricorn, and pink coral with Tarsus.

It is found in the reefs of warm seas, particularly east of Australia, around Japan, Africa, Mediterranean and the Canary Islands. It comes in several colors such as pink, salmon pink, red and also white and black.

Morocco Agate, Kamaba & Sandy Jasper, Butterscotch Quartz


A few more designs from the studio, a mix of natural gemstones with wire sculpture.


The first two designs feature Morocco Agate a very nice stone that is a conglomerate of colors; one design is 3 strands of floating gemstones; accented with glass pink lined seed beads. The second design features the same Agate but mixed with copper, Swarovski crystals, and freshwater cultured pearls. Both designs draw on the Morocco Agate, but give totally different looks when mixed with different combinations of beads, glass, crystals and colors.




The third design is mixing bold Kamaba Jasper with Butterscotch Quartz, Sandy Jasper and beige lined glass seed bead accents, and then finished with non-tarnish brass wire links.

My Picks for Spring-Summer 2009

After researching the internet and reading the latest fashion, gemstone and jewelry magazines; my picks for Spring-Summer 2009 are a little different than what the ‘experts’ are suggesting…go figure!

Colors Trends: For color trends I still see the staples of black, white and beige which never really go out of ‘style’ they just are either hot or cold. However, I think there will be some undertones in softer pastel colors; such as yellow, pale pinks and blues, and greys; all highlighted by darker tones in navy, purple, red and turquoise. These colors to be seen more in the Spring, which will later give way in Summer to your darker, brighter and deeper tones of turquoise, salmon coral, hot pinks-red-orange-yellow combinations, mixed with hues of purples, greens and blues; all accented with softer beige, grey, cream and white.

Gemstones & Jewelry Trends: As the economy has taken a spiral downward, the days of having high priced jewelry in precious gemstones; Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, and Diamond are going to be less attractive. I see the trend turning to more natural gemstones, a much more economical answer to trending jewelry. Turquoise, coral, agates, jaspers, pearls, and quartz will all play big parts in jewelry this Spring-Summer; mostly because of their vast variety in different colors schemes. Any of these stones can go with just about anything and any metal from gold to silver to copper to brass….also something we will see more of in the coming year.

As for the jewelry itself, I think we will see more trends in the traditional uniquely handcrafted pieces reflecting more one-of-a-kind pieces verses the mass produced overseas jewelry. Necklaces will be longer in multi-strands; charmed and chunky, with pendants making a comeback as well. Earrings in a longer sleek look; chandelier, charmed, and multi dangle. Bracelets will be a mix of gemstones, metals being large or small. Whatever the look for the season one thing is for sure, no woman will be without her accessories in jewelry designs; a mix of chains, wires, glass and all kinds of natural gemstone completing looks in classical and casual or sassy and chic.

Remember, whatever your look, just be yourself and do what makes you feel good! And if you’re in the market for a new necklace, pair of earrings or bracelet, wonder over and check out our selection of uniquely handcrafted gemstone jewelry!
