Welcome to my Online Gallery !


I live on Salt Spring Island, in BC, Canada.

I have been creating one of a kind jewelry out of sterling silver and semi precious gem stones since 1985 and for over 30 years I sold through our local Saturday Market. I still attend occasionally but now sell mainly online.


You may enjoy checking out my online store!

IMPORTANT WARNING


My ETSY shop which is accessible through both of the links directly above, on this page, is the only place on line where I am currently selling my work.

In December 2011 some images of my work and the item descriptions that were in a craft marketing website, were briefly pirated by a number of websites in China, which were impersonating my business.

If someone attempts to contact me or buy one of my pieces through any website other than Etsy, they will not receive a piece of my work.

Summer is a Busy Time

Summer is a busy time of year, and the photos here are only a small sample of my work.

I hope to add more one of a kind items to this page as I make them over the fall and winter.

I hope you will check back from time to time to see pictures of my latest work.


This bracelet is made of sterling silver and has a nice pale green prehnite, apatite and a blue green tourmaline. It is still available, though I have yet to list it on Etsy. It is $420.00, plus any postage that may be needed.




I handcrafted these earrings from sterling silver. From the tip of the small leaf at the top to the bottom of the larger leaf, they were 43 mm long.Sorry but these particular earrings have been sold.


I made this sterling silver ring by repeatedly melting hammering and rolling. It was size 10 and 1/4 and is 30 mm wide at the front, with three cubic zircons set into the silver. This unique piece has sold and is no longer available.
 

This necklace is made of sterling silver parts I handcrafted, orange alabaster I carved into beads and small amber beads. I ended up taking this necklace apart and replacing the alabaster beads with yellow turquoise. This piece is no longer available.



 These unusual earrings were made of 25 mm squares of BC jade, sterling silver and garnets. They have found a home and are no longer available.



These earrings were sterling silver, bronze and blue topaz, and not counting the ear wire they were 52mm long. They have been sold.




I carved this pendant from chlorite which was found in the interior of BC. I handcrafted the sterling silver parts and then I set a forest green synthetic emerald into the black stone. I don't usually work with synthetics but the dark green and black were so pretty together I made an exception. The carved black stone is 35 mm long. This piece has been sold.


 This ring is made of sterling silver and a couple balls of bronze. It is size 7 and is 30 mm wide at the front. The central stone is kyanite, and there is amethyst on each side. It is still available for $200.00, plus any required postage. I hope to get this listed over on Etsy sometime soon.





 These sterling silver earrings are 67 mm from the top of the ear wire to the bottom. They have been sold.
