I will admit to you, right now, that my first designs were awful, and I mean truly awful. But my love of jewelry and gemstones kept me practicing and pursuing more and more techniques. Through time and patience, I eventually found my niche in the jewelry world, and I am so happy to bring pieces into people's lives that I feel are truly unique. Each of my designs are original, and one of a kind. You can't buy these at your local Target, or Claire's Boutique. As I sit and ponder a new order of beautiful beads, designs just work their way into my head, and I start creating. I bring all of the positive energy I have into crafting each piece. If I'm frustrated or in a bad mood--I won't do it. I don't like to put that kind of energy into my work. I focus on using the right stones, for the right purpose, and imagine what types of healing and positive benefits each peace can bring into a person's life as I am creating it. I won't even list an item until I am truly satisfied that it looks and feels right. If anything seems off, or I am just not too excited about it, I will redo it. Good quality work takes time. Sure you can go to the mall and buy a bracelet for $3.99, but where did it come from? Was each bead selected by hand? Was love and positivity put into the process? If the answer is no, then you shouldn't be buying it.
