I find that working with the different colors and textures that comprise gemstones is very therapeutic. Being able to create something of beauty and purpose is quite fulfilling for both my customer and myself. I find it essential to help people, and in some small way, I believe I am.I started my business in 1995, and it has evolved to an ever-expanding adventure. It is constantly changing to suit my desires of creating intriguing trinkets, and to bring to you various unique pieces of jewelry. I believe I make a durable product at a fair price.I create each piece of jewelry with my own hands. I use what I believe are the best products to turn my jewelry into a functional and fashionable item that you would admire on yourself, or would give as a cherished gift. I use a 26 pound break strength softflex nylon coated wire (whew! ) on most of my strung jewelry. It doesn&＃39;t kink, or, usually, break. I also use genuine gemstones, high quality plated and/or sterling silver components, & high quality pewter charms.In creating my earthly treasures line, I have chosen various genuine gemstones for each piece, combined for their specific properties. When these stones are worn together, the body&＃39;s reaction with the stones&＃39; earthen energies will serve as a practical aid in enhancing ones&＃39; life and increasing opportunities.I have designed each piece not only to be beneficial, but enchanting as well. Seed beads, or sterling silver beads, lay between the various colors and shapes of the gemstones. This gives the piece some richness and depth, and helps to enhance the stones colors.
