About Me
and everything started here...
Since I was a kid I was in love with gemstones. When I started working close to a neighborhood where the biggest gems' merchants had their stores, I always spent my breaks strolling around the shops and learning about the gemstones.
Then came the New Age thing. Oh my, I had crystals and gemstones for every chakra, zodiac sign or situation. You name it and I had the gemstone. That was really a nice time. Then I got married and too busy with kids, family and work to keep up with my gem love, so I had to leave them behind.
In 2006 I rediscovered my passion for gemstones and discovered my passion for jewelry making after going to a craft store with my mom, who was visiting me at the time. We wanted to make earrings for my nieces so we bought some tools and beads… Oh boy, what a ride.
From there I took some classes, went to some gems' shows and started to look any tutorials, books and magazines that I could put my hands on. I started to show my work around: I participated in street fairs, church gatherings, farm shows, school fundraisers, etsy, ebay…
The jewelry making is addictive, once you start, it goes to your system, straight to your heart, there is no return.
My unique collection of handmade jewelry is crafted with precious and semi-precious gemstones, organic beads, wood, using different mediuns to display them. My wish is to create inspiring jewelry, using materials that connect the wearer with nature and also brings the energy contained in such pieces.
I also accept custom orders, if you see a design that you like and you want to change the gemstone, colors, lenght and size, please drop me a line and we can discuss what could be made.
I hope you enjoy exploring my jewelry as much as I enjoy making them.
Peace!
