Need a Personal Gift for the Woman Who Loves Jewelry?

Personalized earrings and pin/necklaces are alot of fun to make. Tell me what your friend loves, and I will figure out how to put her interests on jewelry that she wears. These earrings are large yet light, and I made them after I heard how she'd like them made; what colors, how large, beads yes or no, any interests I should include in the pictures on the jewelry, etc....Doesn't she look great?

Getting Married With a Sense of Humor

Every bride (or Mother of the bride) should wear these funky earrings that portray the caricatures of the bride and groom as they dress up in their fancy wedding outfits. Begin the marriage with the ability to laugh at yourselves and with each other and you will have a happy, lasting marriage.

rounded dome earrings




Black and white earrings can be painted in many designs and are quite eye catching. Adding just one more color to the color palette changes the whole look. You can see that red is added in an intense chroma as well as with a little white added, which we all know as pink. These are very light to wear despite the fact that these are 1 and 1/4 diameter earrings.

Leger Ladies


Big and bold, I love playing around with Modernist work. I love wearing these.

My tastes vary so much- I like modern and also I am really enjoying painting roses, flowers, etc. If you look closely in this pin you will see a couple getting married, circa 19.....?.It's a vintage wedding pin.

Valentine's Day Earrings



- I generally paint my jewelry in a more contemporary design, but the tiny roses on this pair of earrings are different and I like them alot. The roses themselves are painted in tints of pink and magenta- the background a tint in a romantic low key yellow. And the "dangles" ( I haven't found a better word to describe them yet) are painted to match.

These earrings are a departure from my usual, and I think I can be inspired to paint more jewelry in a sort of Victorian inspired mode.
