Design Jewelry

Abalone shells and pearl spacersMy main focus is custom design. Tell me what you're looking for, and I’ll work within your budget to create the ideal piece. View the Buy Jewelry and Design Gallery pages for ideas. Does something catch your eye, but you want a different stone, metal, or  length? Questions? Contact me.

If you already know what you're looking for, contact me and we’ll get started. “I was shopping for jewelry, but there was something I didn’t like about each piece.” If this describes your experience, it’s a great starting point for collaborating on your own designs. I’ve made pieces to match existing jewelry, both contemporary and vintage, as well as pieces to match specific outfits.

Peach freshwater pearlsNote: Commissioned orders require a 50% deposit and are generally delivered within 3 to 4 weeks of order, depending upon the availability of materials. Custom orders are final sales. Natural and enhanced stones, fresh water pearls, etc., will all have slight variations in color, texture, and shape. This is the inherent beauty of the stones, making each bead subtly different. In addition, some gems are machine-cut, while others are cut by hand. These variations add to the uniqueness of each design.
