Pennsylvania Craft Jeweler discovering the art in crafting, selling and promoting my friends. Since I was a little girl I've had a fascination with jewelry and gemstones. Some years later, I started collecting antique jewelery. Enjoying my collection soon wasn't enough. I've never believed in jewelry sitting in a jewelry box. That decision started me on an adventure in learning. First I taught myself to set gems and then discovered precious metal wire. Just about then, sterling silver prices surged and became prohibitively expensive for experimentation and I found copper wire. Next came beaded necklaces to accent the wire sculpture pieces and another passion was born. I came to the beaded jewelry world through the back door and find I am right back where I started at gemstones having found wonderful sources for real gemstone beads like sapphire and diamond. My journey is only beginning.
