This necklace was a custom order for an engagement gift. I worked with the customer on colors and overall style, combining elements I knew would work. The result is a chunky, and yet refined bohemian styled necklace, with a brightly colored "mandala" focal piece. The customer and his surprised bride-to-be were very pleased with the outcome.
These earrings were designed in 2008 and were one of my earliest ornate works in bead weaving. They feature garnet, andalusite, glass beads, Japanese seed beads, and rose gold lever backs. These earrings are in a private collection in California.
