I love designing jewelry in my mind, creating it with my hands, and knowing someone

I live and work in Nyack, NY and I divide my time between jewelry making and being a pediatric physical therapist.

Since childhood I have collected shiny and sparkling things: beads, stones, and baubles. As a new Physical Therapist, I needed ways to motivate my young patients with multiple disabilities. So, I dug into my lifelong collection of goodies that had been untouched for years and made some simple jewelry for them. I told them the funny little stories behind each bead or stone in their jewelry and they loved it! My pieces were a hit, my patients progressed, and I discovered a new creative outlet.

Now, everyday I am excited to get home to my workbench, to study and learn more about the art of jewelry design, and to create modern, glamorous and affordable jewelry that women will feel great wearing everyday.

MY GOAL- 100% GREEN

I proudly use 100% reclaimed 99.9% pure silver combined with gemstones from ethical vendors in many of my pieces. As I grow, this number grows. The options for custom design in reclaimed or recycled metals are endless. When using recycled or reclaimed metals, the negative impact on the environment during mining, and the potential for human rights abuse and poor/dangerous working conditions is eliminated.

As much as possible, I purchase gemstones from Fair Trade businesses that commit to fair wages, cooperative workplaces, consumer education, environmental sustainability, respect for cultural identity, and public accountability.

See these gemstones and visit my eco-friendly, recycled silver section for my line of art pendants, initial and quote jewelry; wax seal and antique button pendants, lyric jewelry, symbols, talisman, and much more. I can use your favorite words or any inspirational phrases. http://www.etsy.com/shop/YourDailyJewels?section_id=10687846

I sold for many years on EBAY. Etsy is a much friendlier environment.
Thank you again for looking, (and hopefully buying).
