About the designer

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!

Some custom designs!

One of my favorite things is to have a muse when I am making a set.  I especially enjoy making custom sets for my friends and customers when they have something in mind that I can make in reality.

An acquaintance of mine had gotten these beautiful Mexican coral beads as a gift from a relative.  She didn't really like the original necklace and asked if I could do something different with them.  She is a gorgeous slender petite Texan, and I immediately thought of a multistranded look with turquoise and southwestern style silver beads.  I ended up with so many beads left over, I made a bracelet to match!













More recently I was asked to made some special jewelry for my niece-in-law, Mrs. Lopez for her wedding.  I think she looks fantastic!  I also made the bridesmaids jewelry - in this picture, you can see the matching earrings.
