Happy Birthday Judy LaValley! Your custom necklace and earrings are done and being sent today!

This is an incredible "slice" of quartz that just happened to end up looking like a flower! Add a silver bee and you have a necklace that is truly one-of-a-kind and will be admired by everyone!

"Tumbling Stones"

Amber with several bugs embedded in it, embellished with a sterling silver bee! Custom-made for Cynthia Scheltema...

Topaz and Crystal... custom made for Janet Blackwell... and amber with great bugs inside and out!

AWESOME rutile quartz ring... My ode to growing up in Buffalo... city skyline, clear quartz representing snow...

One-of-a-kind handmade glass fish... wish I could take credit for that, but it was made by an artist in Washington, D.C.

Detail of necklace above... great little frog!

Some new necklaces...

Ever wonder when you invest in a great piece of jewelry if you are also getting a good value for your money?

I ripped this out of InStyle magazine... the bracelet is EXACTLY like one I would make! It is made by a certain high-end designer for a certain store on Fifth Avenue in NYC (changing names to protect the innocent)... and considering I just saw this, I wonder where the designer got HIS idea from??

Anyway... notice the price? $2465.00!! I'd make the same thing for 1/12th the price.

Y'know, whenever people ask me if I make earrings, I tell them that I don't usually because when you are dealing with natural stones, it's hard to make two duplicate pieces that would become a matching earring set.

These ammonites, however, are split down the middle creating two duplicate halves (like yin and yang) which make them perfect as earrings!

These I made for myself (something I rarely do) but I will do this again for anyone that would like a pair!
