Designing
with you in mind is what we do. Designs can range from a pair of
earrings to match something you already have, to a consultation
for design of new pieces. Although we have many pieces that are
waiting for a home, we love to take your special occasions or unique
ensembles and design something just for you.
Jewelry
has been my passion for many years. I remember going through my
mother’s jewelry box and playing dress-up the way other little
girls played with makeup. Later, as a young mother of three, I had
little time to spare, but in that spare time, I began to work with
a national company selling pre-made jewelry. I somehow always found
a way of changing their jewelry up to fit the look I desired. Once
I realized I could pick and choose the stones and actually make
my own, I found the true passion for design.
After receiving my Bachelor's from Elon College, NC, my career took
a more left-brained road into technology. My jewelry passion became
a hobby and was set aside for a period of years, although never
lost. Then several years ago, my husband and I took a wire wrapping
class. My husband, an architect and developer, was the "star"
of that class. Our love of stones and design was rekindled and he
became our resident wire artist. Some of his designs are shown on
our web site.
And here we are…for the past five years, we have shared our
hobby and passion with friends and family and finally into an outlet
to share with you.
As you view our jewelry pieces, I hope you find something that appeals
