For as long as I can remember, I have loved rocks. As a child I collected them, finding rose quartz in our driveway gravel, agates in the woods, and skipping stones at the lake. When my family vacationed out west, I begged my parents to let me scoop a nugget bag of tumbled stones at every gift shop. I still have one of them, holding some of my favorite discoveries. Even though I'm now a "grown up" I can spend hours pouring over thousands of coastal beach stones or days carrying one particular gem in my pocket to roll around in my hand as I contemplate some decision. What I didn't know as a child, and have since learned, is that we are all drawn to the places and the things on the earth that we need for healing and rejuvenation of our energy. Perhaps that means climbing a mountain, swimming in the ocean or hiking in the woods…

It should not be a surprise then, that I have come to live in "The Granite State", with a stone wall in my yard, and rocks of all sizes and shapes occupying my bookshelves and tables - and that I am drawn to create personal adornments with all kinds of stones; creating a way for any of us to carry a little bit of inspiration - mountain, ocean or woods - with us when we can't be there in person to breathe the air and find the energy we need from this earth for growth, peace, and healing.

Every creation is hand-crafted in my home studio using only the highest quality materials, including semi-precious and natural gemstones, .925 Sterling Silver, Bali Silver, Hill Tribe Silver, Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls and occasionally other unique pieces like coral or hand-blown artisan lampwork glass.

I hope that you enjoy what you find (or what finds you!) in my design collections, and return often to see what beautiful new gems I've unearthed!
