Vibrate

10/5/10

Life is filled with synchronicity!

The "story" of vibrate began with my latest collection of nature inspired gemstones. Shortly after I completed the collection, I received a link to a beautiful website of mandalas from a friend, which lead me research the official flower for October (marigold)...which lead me to find the most beautiful mandalas in marigold....which lead me to Las Vegas for my latest trunk show at Bellagio...where I discovered the fall floral bounty of gorgeous shades of greens, yellows, oranges, and pinks....which reminded me that all these creations are just ONE giant vibration of the great Mother Earth.

Hence, I was inspired to put the images together in a new video for your enjoyment...VIBRATE!!!!




Images from the latest floral arrangements and gardens at Bellagio, Las Vegas...bellisima!!!

Sunken Treasures

8/26/10

My latest collection is inspired by my past travels to Pompeii, Italy and Ephesus, Turkey. I have always been drawn to and fascinated by ancient history, architecture and I especially love frescos. (See some examples below: the colors are muted, yet potent and rich!)

The people of Pompeii loved their art - it was everywhere, in their homes, their gardens and in the streets.  Ephesus is host to the Temple of Artemis (Diana), Goddess of the hunt, and lady of wild things.

I imagine they adorned themselves in golden treasures and gemstones.

This collection is feminine and delicate, yet each piece makes its own powerful statement , with its unusual usage of stones and color. Ancient in feeling, yet totally modern and elegant. Truly, Goddess Divine!

Playing in My Jewel Box - You are Invited!

Vintage Nolan Miller diamond & sapphire earrings

My undying passion for jewelry began long before I ever started designing my own. Being fortunate to have been a globe trotter many (many) moons ago, afforded me the wonderful opportunity to search and seek out very unusual pieces for my own collection. I have found that over the years, my most cherished pieces are not the ones that cost the most, but the ones that were timeless and classic, and that I continue to enjoy year after year after year.

While I am not a "fine" jewelry creator, I only use the highest quality gemstones and findings. My one-of-a-kind creations are made not only with the utmost care and quality, but with the idea that the client will enjoy and wear them for a very long time. I rarely look at magazines or what "others" are doing, as it is never my desire to follow a trend.

I find that my biggest "fans" are those who have there own unique sense of style, and dare to be a bit different. They are themselves, their own "trend setters".

I share with you some of my favorite personal "finds", as they inspire me to create something unique just for you........Enjoy!

The Color Blue

7/30/10



"Blue" Gallery coming soon, featuring Aquamarine & sterling silver stacked earrings, "crowned jewel" necklaces and lariats.

The Ocean...The Sky....Jeans....Jewelry

Blue is the overwhelming "favorite color." Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable and committed. Blue is the greatest healing power in the world. Blue is the color of purity and those who enjoy it, carry with them a sense of calmness, peace, serenity, and beauty.

As the collective color of the spirit, it invokes rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming; however not all blues are serene and sedate. Electric or brilliant blues become dynamic and dramatic, an engaging color that expresses exhilaration.

Blue is a magnificent feng shui color. It ranges from gentle aqua blue to the blue-green of the ocean to the deep indigo blue of the crown chakra. In feng shui, we associate blue with the clear sky and the healing, refreshing waters.

Blue
Means the sky
Means the ocean

A color of expansion
Offering its
Beautiful shades

Like a peacock
Opening itself
Up every morning
In the Indian village

Saying
Alive and well

Yet we know
Water only
Wears the 
Blue color
Of reflection
In the ocean

But she looks
Beautiful always

Crown Crazy

6/12/10




 I have always been "crazy" for crowns. It probably started long before my first visit to London in the 1980's, where I had the opportunity to be a tourist, and got to visit them in person...or maybe I was an aristocrat in another lifetime.....

When I was in the antique business, I went through another crown "phase", and the adrenaline rushed as the thrill of the hunt for tiaras, and the most "prized" find, an old French or Italian jeweled crown, was the key to a great shopping adventure.

It started again recently, and I "blame" Alma chocolate for creating an amazing 23K gold gilded edible chocolate icon.

Here is a sampling of the latest "gallery", aptly named Crowned Jewels. These one-of-a-kind gemstone baubles are stacked with sterling silver, to create a "crown" effect. They hang from 18" sterling chain.

They are on their way to Atlanta for a show next week, but you can "visit" them soon in the gallery....and more will be added soon for direct purchase.
