Cotati Jazz Festival - June 19, 2010

We had a great day at the Jazz Festival...good music...interesting vendors...and (unfortunately) a lot of wind. Made some good contacts...a really nice lady that would like to feature my jewelry in her shop as 'featured artist of the month,' plus other contacts.

For my next show I'm looking at exhibiting at the Cotati Accordian Festival. This is a well-attended two-day event that's been going on in Cotati since 1991. About 5,000-6,000 folks are expected each day. I'll keep you posted.

2010 Newest Creations

It's been too long since I posted to my site, and I have some new photos I'd like to share.


This first piece is created with 3-4mm freshwater pearls, highlighting a 13mm White South Sea Saltwater Pearl. All pearls have very high luster. The findings are vermeil 22kt gold over sterling silver. The necklace measures 17" and comes with matching freshwater pearl earrings.

This is a stunning piece that will stand out beautifully with your 'little black dress.'

I absolutely adore this style of necklace, wire wrapped gemstones strung together to make its own neck chain. These gemstones are faceted black Quartz.

The necklace measures 18" and comes with matching earrings. All wire and findings are made with 14kt yellow gold filled components.

The metal pendant is made by Metalcraft by DeZine. For more information on these handcrafted metal pieces of copper and brass jewelry art, please go to:

This little number has 'summer' written all over it. The necklace is created with green chalcedony and fluorite beads, featuring a handcrafted wire wrapped pendant of Green African Opal and copper.

The necklace measures 18" and the pendant is approximately 2" long. The matching earrings are created with the same components.

All findings are copper.




This is another piece created for summer wear. Chocolate brown rice pearls with super luster make up the necklace highlighting a large mabe shell pearl. The necklace can be worn 'backwards' to display the smooth iridescent shell side.

The necklace measures 18" and uses sterling silver findings.
