When light strikes the stones, they reflect many different colors.

These turquoise nuggets have rust and brown inclusions that compliment the AB Colorado topaz Swarovski crystals and the copper metal findings. The chain link design creates movement and ties the colors together.

This photo does not adequately demonstrate the beauty of these beads, they are unique.

I had two onyx beads left over from another project. Rather than take the time to find where they belong in my stock, I created this pair of earrings.

Copper and aqua or turquoise are complementing colors. The color and cool transparency of these beads remind me of clear, sparkling water.

Quartz is one of my favorite products to use in designing jewelry. Although these stones are displayed with a bright yellow, they assume other color reflections which compliment many color combinations.

These handcrafted silver hoops allow the earrings to move which adds to the sparkle of the multi-faceted smoky quartz beads. These can be worn with many wardrobe colors.

The stones resemble a drop of water–so are displayed hanging from a ceramic water pitcher.

These earrings are very light and easy to wear.
