All items are created using genuine semi-precious stones, with .925 sterling silver findings, settings, wire and beads. Each item is one-of-a-kind; I never replicate my work. I strive for unique color combinations with graceful rhythms of the beads. Stones have held a fascination for me since I was very young, and I feel natural stone jewelry, with all the stone's flaws and inclusions, hold much more warmth and humanity than something that is supposedly "perfect". Each pendant, each little bead, is like a miniature abstract painting created by the most incredible artist of all, Nature. I just curate them for a little wearable exhibit. :) -Ann
