A recurring theme

While looking through my jewelry box, I noticed a certain grouping of colors that seems to repeat throughout my designs.

I absolutely love the dynamic combination of black, white, and red. And I had to throw in the one I made to represent my favorite hockey team!

This was an experiment in making bridal jewelry with semi-precious stones. This one is garnet. I also made one with lovely amethyst and another with a leafy green jade.

They say every little girl dreams of her wedding day. I can't say I was that sort of little girl, but I created this necklace and bracelet set in hopes of someday wearing it while saying "I do."

Passion and harmony. Two necessary elements in any healthy relationship. Not the only two, of course, but important nonetheless.

The idea for this began with the red rings. It was one of those instances I mentioned where I picked up some pieces with no clear plan and things just sort of fell into place.

I created this when I started dating my current boyfriend. That's his name there, in the back near the clasp. A heart on either side to suggest the possibility of love. And the words Hope, Trust, and Believe, things I didn't feel I could do in my previous relationship. It is meant to signify a new start and hope for the future. It seems to have worked. =)


I recently picked up some colored wire and this was an early project. I wanted to add beads to the wire, but still leave large sections of it bare to show the color. This necklace is very light, doesn't get kinked when you fold it up, and lays very nicely on my neck. I am considering creating a few more using different color combinations.
