My Jewelry Line

Click on any picture to enlarge.

For the last three years, I have been teaching classes at A Better Bead & Crafts in Brevard.  My teddy bears  are for sale there and I teach classes in teddy bear making.  I also teach jewelry making at the shop.  In addition, I design and make one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that are sold in the shop and on the shop's web site.  I have decided to add my jewelry designs to my web site. 

I work mostly with natural, precious and semi-precious stones, pearls, Czech glass and seed beads.  I will do custom pieces upon request but choose not to mass produce my designs so if you see something you like, be aware that once it is gone, it won't be repeated.  Here are some samples of my more recent work.  To see a complete selection of my currently available pieces, click here.

Mother-of-Pearl and Venetian Chevron Lariat
