The semi-precious gemstones of my gemstone jewelry designs are created from the precious minerals formed within our earth. These naturally occurring minerals are present in the rocks of the mountains, sand of the beach, and soil of the ground.

There are over 3500 minerals that are recognized, and I have designed handmade jewelry from some of the most beautiful and unique of these minerals. Gemstones each have their own unique properties including color, texture, and hardness, to name a few. Every person seems to be drawn to particular gemstone for a specific reason.

My love for gemstones should be obvious in that I love to design and make gemstone jewelry. My handmade jewelry designs are created for that unique person who is drawn to the beauty of natural gemstones. I want to be able to take a particular gemstone and design a piece of jewelry that a person feels drawn to. That being said, when designing new gemstone jewelry, I also feel a connection with certain jewelry pieces. Those pieces that I feel a connection are usually the pieces that I end up wearing. I hope that you will find a design that you are drawn to as well.
