For nearly a quarter of a century I've been
guided by my passion for designing jewelry of unique timeless style from the
finest materials in the world. Now that my hands are no longer strong enough to
earn a living doing what I love, I am sharing design tips, marketing experience
and thousands of supplies with you here on these web sites.
This site is
dedicated to sharing tips, motivation, ideas and instructions for making your
own jewelry as a hobby or perhaps to start a new career. I don't have children,
so this site is my way of giving back. I want to pass along what I've learned to
anyone who wants to benefit from my experience.
We have two shopping sites to serve you in addition to
this teaching site.

Design, fashion, music, art, literature, architecture...
all the facets of our different cultures evolve and change. Those of us who are
devoted to a certain genre will remain interested in that style with subtle
changes over the years as we learn, grow and edit to make room for more
treasures. The decorating style, music and architecture of 18th century has
always been my favorite and strongly influences my buying decisions today. The
romantic Baroque, Victorian, Rococo and vintage styles have always been my
strongest influences. Modern or minimalist design seems cold and unfinished to
me. So no matter the current trend, I continue to embrace what I love in varying
degrees of weight, layers and focal interest. If you are that type of loyal fan
of all things romantic, elegant, and dramatic then you will always find the
components and accessories you love here.
"May the joy that comes from creating something
beautiful, always be yours."
