I started this website back in 2018 when I was making mostly wire-framed pendants. Since then, I’ve branched out to earrings, bracelets, prong and bezel set pendants, and beaded necklaces. I’ve also begun making “statement pieces” — like the Kingman Turquoise and Orange Spiny Oyster Shell piece shown here — to expand and show off my silversmithing skillset. And, although I travel a lot, I’ve begun offering jewelry making classes in my Malaga, WA, jewelry studio.
Sadly, over the years this website has been sorely neglected. But I do know people come here to look at what I make and sell, especially after seeing my work at the art shows where I appear mostly during the summer months. I understand the importance of keeping the site up to date and am working hard to do that.
In addition to adding new jewelry pieces as they become available, I am also deleting much of the older content — basically anything dating from before 2022. My older work is not a good representation of what I make now. In fact, some of it is rather cringe-worthy.
One thing I did do back in those days was research and provide information about the different stones I use in my work. So before deleting all the old stuff, I need to pull out that information so I can update and use it. In future postings. That’s what’s taking a long time.
I hope you’ll bear with me as I get the site up to date. It’s tedious work and not very much fun. But it needs to be done. Stay tuned and keep checking in!
