Antoinette

This is a stylized heart shaped collar necklace made from copper wire. It is embellished with dots of red glass beads that encase a heart. The heart holds a natural quartz crystal and an amethyst nugget.A beautiful vintage red bead dangles beneath the collar. It measures approximately 19 inches. It would make a lovely Valentine's gift for someone special. Black oxidized steel wire is loosely woven around the top.

Cleopatra's sister

When I finished this piece a customer told me I should call it Cleopatra. When I informed her I had already made another necklace and given it that name we decided to name this one Cleopatra's sister. I made this bold collar from brass and copper wire. It is adorned with an agate disc and then surrounded with Hematite beads. The focal piece is a natural quartz crystal from a small town in California. I laced it in copper wire. Purple agate beads connected it all together.

Guinevere

This is the beginning of a collection of Renaissance/Victorian jewelry I am working on . Guinevere is hand made with copper wire, a large agate bead, quartz crystal that has been netted and wrapped and crystal beads. The collar was shaped into a Celtic design and the oxidized to a deep bronze color. The green agate bead has weaved, free form wire work added. The S link chain is hand made and has been oxidized and is ready to be polished and then added to the collar.

Flower Power pendant

This pendant has layers of color and lots of depth. The ivory flower is ceramic and made form one of my mother's old clip-on earrings. The other two flowers are made from beads. Nestled between them is a wire wrapped quartz crystal. Assorted crackle glass chips are sewn in around the beaded garden. There are also crystals, stones, coral beads, and mother of pearl.

Isis

Isis or in original more likely Aset (Ancient Greek: Ἶσις) was a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world. She was worshiped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the matron of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden, and she listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats, and rulers.^[1] Isis is the goddess of motherhood, magic and fertility.                  As soon as I finished this pendant, I immediately saw an "Egyptian look."  I shaped and hammered a pyramid frame from copper wire.  It has rich and deep colors of reds, gold, green and yellow. I decorated it with red faceted glass beads, copper and bronze colored seed beads, mother of pearl, citrine, jade and quartz crystal. I added a natural quartz crystal that I coiled and lace netted to the pyramid. It measures approximately 3 in. x 1 3/4 in.
