I’ve been wanting to make a pair of phoenix/fire color earrings for awhile. And the nice thing about making jewelry is that I also get to make custom pieces just for myself sometimes too. This was my first time making something just like this but I think it came out really lovely and I hope…

Custom Bird Nest Pendant
My Custom Birdnest Pendants are a really simple and lovely way to celebrate family and friends. By selecting 2-4 birthstones, I can make a piece that’s special and meaningful just to you. Here’s a recent example I made for a customer: This one features May (dark green for emerald), July (bright red for ruby) and…
Birthday!
Just taking a day off to celebrate my 34th birthday! I’m actually writing this in advance since I’m going away Sunday and staying over in Orlando for a mini-weekend getaway for my birthday. The shop will remain open but packages will ship out early next week upon my return. Thank you to everyone for your…
February Tree Redux
The first of my February Trees featuring genuine faceted rondelle Amethyst gemstones set in non-tarnish silver plated wire sold so I’ve made a second. This is all the amethyst I have currently on hand but this exact pendant is ready to ship. Amethyst derives it’s name from a Greek word meaning “without drunkenness” because it…
Harry Potter Trinket Box
And now for something completely different! Besides my jewelry, I’m also very crafty in general. I do a lot of craft swaps on Craftster.org. Mainly, I tend to make jewelry there too since it’s my specialty, but sometimes, I also go for projects that are different. It’s nice to do something outside your normal wheelhouse…
Custom Ruby and Moonstone Tree
Another example of a custom piece. She wanted something with June and July birthstones. June is traditionally pearl, but instead of pearl, she wanted something a little more “gem” looking. I researched some options for her and ultimately, we went with Rainbow Moonstone. It’s a really lovely, semi-opaque stone with an inner fire that sparkles…
Mother’s Day
One of the things about being a jewelry designer is that there’s a lot of opportunity to make gifts for people instead of buying them. For example, this Mother’s Day, I made my Mom a custom Family Tree pendant with my birthstone, my sister’s birthstone and her birthstone. I tend to work in silver primarily,…
Custom Cameo Necklace
I made a custom piece featuring a cameo in a black with red accent color scheme. She liked a modern twist on a vintage/retro style and had examples of pieces she liked which I used as the basis for this necklace. The dual strand necklace features a nice cameo which sits off-center and is accented…

Custom Swarovski Crystal Bracelet
I made this piece as a Mother’s Day gift. Her mom wears a lot of blue and brown and that’s a great color combo together so I ran with it. I used some Swarovski crystal accents, genuine Swarovski crystals in round and bicone and finished it with a Swarovski clasp. It’s pretty enough for a…
