About this piece: Length: 7 1/4" Clasp: heart & arrow toggle (color-silver) The picture doesn't come close to how this sparkler appears in person.

Hints of ruby red make the piece truly breathtaking. Any more would have been too much. You can't tell from the photo, but this piece sparkles like crazy. Just be careful when driving! You'll find yourself staring at it instead of the road if you're not careful!
"There is nothing quite as breathtaking as a rosebush in bloom. It does not matter how many times we experience their beauty, it feels like the first. The deep red buds slowly share their inner secrets. The green leaves are like the setting of a ring...necessary to flaunt the diamond, but your eye focuses on the gemstone. At the end of each long stem lies a classic flower. What makes this bouquet even better? No thorns!"

This is a very popular color combination now...an offbeat twist on timeless black and white. This will never go out of style. Wear it now, wear it ten years from now, this updated classic will look good no matter what decade you slip it on your wrist!"

This is a stunning bracelet that would look sharp with a business suit.

This unusual twist on the classic black and white will set off any outfit and have others admiring the culinary masterpiece on your arm.

About this piece: Length: 7 1/4" Clasp: flower toggle (color - antique gold/bronze) You cannot tell from the photo, but this is actually a very stunning piece. There is a ton of sparkle. The center bead is very pretty and unusual. The middle is black while the outer portion is a light It doesn't show up well in the picture, but it appears the black part is floating inside. On either side of the center are two very beautiful beads that are incredibly shiny. They look, to me, like gold nuggets. Sure can't tell, though, from the photo. I'll be the first to admit, it looks dull and boring in the photo, but in reality, it's an amazing piece right down to the unique clasp.
"These gorgeous jewel tones are fit for a queen. Deep, rich amethyst, sparkling blue topaz, breathtaking peridot, and candy apple ruby set off by the gorgeous gold. These are reminiscent of gems you would find in any crown or scepter. Even if your blood isn't blue, there's no reason you can't adorn yourself like royalty. Be the queen of your own kingdom and rule with style!"

The center purple bead, as well as the two larger red ones, are iridescent and faceted, really creating light play. Just a rich look.
"An earth child walks lightly upon this land, treating it with the utmost respect. An earth child cherishes every tree, every rock, every mountain, every lake. She understands this planet we call home is a treasure, a gift. It should be measured in natural assets, not monetary ones. An earth child is in touch with nature, knowing there are so many things to discover, including oneself."

"This necklace takes one back to their mother's time and the beautiful pieces they wore in her day. We can just as easily imagine this piece adorning her neck as our own. Did your mother let you play dress up when you were little? Her old slip your evening gown, her costume jewelry your royal gems?

"The Southwest is like nowhere else in the United States. The landscape, history, people are unique and special. This bracelet depicts the colors and textures you see there. The turquoise sky, the various orange shades of sunset. The tan mud homes that provide shelter now as they did then. Many bracelets from this region are big and bold. This one is delicate but not timid...and, of course, one of a kind. This piece instantly transports you to the southwest so saddle up for the ride!"

About this piece: Length: 7 3/4" Clasp: Filigree tongue in groove (color- gold) This double strand bracelet is made with a variety of coral, peach, and turquoise glass beads, along with brown and tan wood beads, some with carvings.

I'm not particularly a fan of southwestern style jewelry, but I love this...and you will, too!
“The evening was so wonderful, but didn’t last nearly long enough. The music filled you as the love of your life swirled you around the dance floor. First dance, last dance, and all those in between were reserved for him and only him. But there was something extra special about the last dance of the evening. He held you a little tighter, knowing the night would soon be over…and not wanting it to be. This bracelet brings back memories of young love. The black and white formality, the white leaves reminiscent of a pressed flower from that dance to save always so the music plays on…forever.”

“There aren’t many times in our lives we have to really dress up, but isn’t it true you can vividly remember every single one? Easter Sundays in your finery, your prom, your wedding. These special occasions stay with us and are replayed many times over in our minds. This crisp black and white piece might evoke memories of fancy affairs, but can be worn just about anywhere. It can easily keep a formal gown company, pop off a little black dress or add just the right touch to a pair of jeans and a sweater. In other words, it can go anywhere you do.”

The clasp is very unique, as well, very similar to a disco ball. The center bead is a larger version of the facted gray crystals. The entire piece really catches the light.
“There are many things to love about summer. Fresh tomatoes, corn on the cob, lightning bugs and cricket concerts. Swimming pools, picnics, badminton...and watermelon. Cold, juicy, delicious. Cutting into that green rind, exposing the deep red. Yes, there are seedless varieties, but half the fun is spitting out the seeds while juice runs down your chin. You eat until you can barely move. Each time you swear you’ll eat less, but then gorge on it the next time, too. After all, watermelon is a summer treat you can’t get enough of.”

"One of the most magical parts of Christmas is the lights. Whether on a tree in the living room, hanging from the eaves of the house, or candles in the windows, the beautiful glow from the holiday lights makes your heart flutter with memories of Christmas past.

I'm honestly not exactly sure what a sugar plum is, but I do know at Christmas there are so many wonderful sweets.

Pet Memorials

Price - varies depending on the materials used.

About these bracelets: Losing a pet is very traumatic. A Pet Memorial bracelet (or necklace) can provide comfort and is a tangible and outward expression of grief we may feel uncomfortable expressing otherwise. This particular example is a bracelet I made for a friend who lost her beloved orange cat. It's hard to read in this picture, but beside the orange cat charm is a charm that says "I love my cat." Most of my pet memorial pieces have an angel dog or cat. You can purchase an already-made memorial piece or I can customize one for that particular person.
"It's no wonder there are so many terms that utilize the word "cat" - the cat's pajamas, let the cat out of the bag, cat got our tongue? Has the nine lives of a cat, like a cat she always lands on her feet. Cats are very special creatures who work their way into more than just our vocabulary, they wriggle right into our hearts! So proudly display your love of cats by wearing this beautiful bracelet. It's as fun and playful as they are!"

"When you learn someone is a dog lover, you really don't need to know anything else about them. Dog lovers realize no home is complete without a dog (or two or three or seven!). After all, who else jumps up and down for joy every time you walk through the door, whether you have been gone days, hours, or minutes? Proudly show your love back every time you wear this darling bracelet. It's as cute and playful as a warm puppy!"

"Some homes have cats, some homes have dogs, but the ideal home has both!  Dogs and cats each bring their own brand of joy.  Any animal lover will tell you cats and dogs are as different as night and day.  But one thing they have in common is their appeal.  So if you are a person with both in your life, this bracelet is for you.  A home with cats and dogs?  Howl purr-fect."

A Good Book & Hot Tea

Price - $7.25

About this bookmark: Just like with the jewelry, the photos of our bookmarks don't begin to do them justice. I'm going to try and do a better picture, but in the meantime, this is a very shiny mark with beautiful beads and a darling charm. In fact, we had a custom order and I did two and let the buyer choose which one she wanted. She said it was very difficult not buying both. These bookmarks, regardless of size or shape, do an amazing job of keeping your place. Nothing is more frustrating than to have a beautiful bookmark but it keeps sliding out of the book. It could be the most beautiful mark on the plant, but what good is it if it doesn't work? These work extremely well. Even I was surprised when I first tried one.
You can also view previously-sold jewelry.  If you see something you like, we can create something similar.  No two will ever be alike, however.
