Made by Hand, From Start to Finish
Every piece begins and ends in my studio. Fine Jewelry designs may start with little more than wire, precious metal and a stone, developing into intricate filigree, handmade chains and one-of-a-kind settings.
In The Craft Studio, polymer clay opens up a different world of color, pattern and form. Each piece is shaped and finished by hand, then paired with carefully chosen findings to create jewelry made for lasting enjoyment.

The Paislee Necklace centers on a Kambaba Jasper cabochon, surrounded by flowing sterling silver filigree that echoes the stone’s organic patterns. The centerpiece is paired with a handmade Pinched Loop chain, a loop-in-loop style constructed from individual fine silver links, and finished with a sterling silver hook clasp. The necklace adjusts from 17 to 19 inches long, while the centerpiece measures 1 x 2-1/4 inches. With its deep green Kambaba Jasper—a stone formed from fossilized algae—and handcrafted silver details, Paislee brings natural pattern and graceful movement together in a unique necklace.

Brooke 260207a is a bright, energetic mix of plum, red, rose, orange and sunny yellow arranged in irregular sweeping stripes. Fine white painted accents and touches of silver foil break through the bands of color, adding extra detail and an occasional flash of metallic shine. The open, softly rounded shape keeps the look light while letting the colorful pattern take center stage.
This is the exact pair of earrings shown in the photographs. The pattern develops individually as the clay is created, and the finished pieces are carefully selected and matched to make a complementary pair.
