My love of making jewelry began 30 years ago, making pieces now and then just for myself. In 2000, I founded a non-profit, working with at risk youth in Miami Beach which is now bigger than I ever could have projected. At times, the stress became overwhelming and I turned to my stones and jewelry making as a means of stress release and I'm still making my beauties. When the ladies and gentlemen around town would see what I was wearing, custom orders started coming in...and keep coming to this day in 2016!
In 2012, I opened my Etsy shop and web-site but that was before Etsy and Square had in-person sales options. I deactivated the shop when it became too complicated while doing local area juried art shows. To my delight, I have actually won several categories in several shows! The wear and tear became just too much for these old bones and now I only do a couple of shows a year. My pieces are sold in many hotels and high end boutiques in South Florida...and now back on Etsy! I love options and try to make groups of pieces that reflect that. A perfect example is the "Reversible" and "Convertible" necklaces with different ways to wear each.
I love what I make and I hope you do too!
