Where did my love for designing jewelry begin? First my husband and I became Prospectors of rocks and gems in the Southwest desert States. Amazed with what we were finding, I knew they could be made into beautiful jewelry. I have always enjoyed expressing my love of natural materials in artistic mediums. After several years of lapidary and silversmithing classes, here I am designing jewelry. Being a Michigander I am focused on Michigan rocks turning them into jewelry as well. What a joy to be able to create such beauty from the earth. I feel it is a way of preserving nature. My hope is that you see nature’s beauty as well.
