Stitchtite and Amethyst


This is one of my favorites...I have been using ANY purple stone I can get my hands on! This purple Stitchtite is a stone from Australia, it's about the same hardness as Turquoise. This is not a dainty set...I'm looking for a gal with "Large shoulders!"

Turquoise and Lapis rings


Hey, JoAnn, these are for you...I hope that's what you had in mind! I'm glad they don't fit ME, I wouldn't mind keeping them!

Silver Anniversary Buckles







My most recent creations are Buckles! A matched set for a Silver Anniversary gift. I learned a lot...especially about how to control the heat on a casting torch..but overall, they turned out the way I had envisioned them. The man's buckle measured 3 1/2" by 2 1/2". The worman's buckle was 2" by 3". The Logo is a quail's head with a horse shoe around it. I used a total of 6 oz. of sterling silver. The surfaces are hammered, the black parts, darkened with an acid wash.

I've been working on a new line of earrings for the holidays...the prices range from about $60.00-$85.00. I use brass, silver, natural stones, and lots of fresh water pearls.
