5 out of 5 starsMy spinner ring is better than I could have imagined. The first one didn't fit correctly and Lynne was quick about making me another ring that is just perfect!!!

4 out of 5 starsVery nice ring. The outer spinner rings are a bit snug so they don’t spin as freely as I had hoped making it a little difficult to “fidget” with it.

Working in the studio
Creating one of a kind jewelry using sterling silver, copper and 14k gold filled wire to weave and wrap natural stones and beads.
I create mixed media jewelry with a focus on earthiness and nature. I love the earthy elegance of wire mixed with stones and beads.
My love of natural stones is deep seated. As a child I loved to hunt for agates at the beach. And as an adult, I've collected rocks everywhere I've visited. I have jars of them in my home and they decorate my gardens. I love the texture and feel of natural stones and love to research their origins. I just never new what to do with them until I started making jewelry.
I come from a crafty family and have tried my hand at everything from knitting and crochet to ceramics and beadwork. When I first started making jewelry, I only made earrings. We had a wonderful bead store in my town and I was amazed at the natural stones I found there. I made earrings for co-workers and friends. Holiday earrings and wedding earrings. Everyday earrings and dressy earrings. But although I enjoyed it, I was never passionate about beading.
In 2009, I retired from my career in state government and moved to Arizona with my Husband. At a local craft show I met a woman who wrapped stones in wire. Now THAT got my attention. I started playing with wire and stones, and since then have created hundreds of jewelry pieces, developing a style uniquely my own. I work primarily with Sterling silver, copper and 14k gold filled wire and natural stones. I also use crystal and metal beads in my designs. When you purchase a piece of my jewelry, you're getting more than just a bracelet, necklace or earrings created by an award winning artist. You're getting a piece of nature that has been cut and polished by craftsmen handpicked by me and then carefully and artfully wrapped or woven by me into a piece you can cherish for years to come.

Shop policies
I always welcome feedback and if you have a great jewelry idea, send it my way. I take special orders and can help you choose stones and wire to wrap a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece made just for you.
All of my pieces are handmade and may vary slightly from the photos. Each is one of a kind. Gemstones are all slightly different in shape and color and may contain slight natural inclusions. Also keep in mind that computer monitors can distort color somewhat, and can make the piece look slightly different than in person. I do my best to describe items as accurately as possible. If you have additional questions regarding sizing etc, please contact me prior to placing an order.
JEWELRY CARE
Be sure to keep your jewelry dry and away from detergents or bleach. When not wearing your jewelry, it's best to keep it (especially Sterling) in an airtight container..
