About the designer

Houston, Texas, United States
I'm a self taught jewelry designer who decided to make this more than just a hobby! I've been making jewelry the last 6 years mostly for friends and people in the west coast swing dance community, where I teach and compete. While I have a day job, it's mostly to pay for my jewelry and dance habits! I primarily work with sterling silver, freshwater pearls, semiprecious stones and swarovski crystals. But I'll use anything that catches my eye and I love to try new techniques!

More Holiday Bling!

I love all the sparkly holiday jewelry, especially earrings!

First, some swarovski Christmas trees!













How about some angels in quarts, swarovski crystals and cubic zirconia?



























Santa Claus is coming to town! (in czech crystals!)













Little Party Dazzlers in green and gold czech and swarovski crystals:













And finally Frosty the snowman!  Glass pearls with swarovski crystals.

I've been busy making some holiday jewelry - gotta have sparkle!


First up, some fun holiday themed wine glass charms with swarovksi crystals and pewter charms:














This set I had made for a trunk show last weekend - it was the first set that was reserved! I ended up remaking it to donate for a holiday fundraiser.  I used freshwater pearls, swarovski and chinarovski crystals, seed beads (as spacer beads), rhinetone squaredelles and pewter accent beads.  Earrings are on sterling silver posts.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I like the red set so much that I ended up making a blue set for myself! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I really liked how these came out.  I was thinking that this design would also look good with fuschia crystals.
