Each of these beautiful designs is a unique one-of-a-kind creation made with quality materials and love
Feel like a princess when you wear this attention-getting necklace. Unique African Turquoise beads are the perfect choice for the strand of this piece, especially when paired with various sizes of ornate silver-plated beads and joined by a quartet of filigree diamond-shaped silver-plated connectors. Suspended from the decorative silver-tone bail is an incredible antique silver-plated ethnic fan pendant decorated with triangles and granulations and embellished with silver-plated cylindrical beads that end with emerald colored crystals. This necklace will be a star in your accessory collection.
The strand length is 21 1/2 inches with a drop from the hammered silver-plated hook and eye clasp to the tip of the pendant.
African Turquoise is a variety of Jasper ( a form of Chalcedony) and is considered to be the stone of evolution bringing about great change and transformation in the life of the wearer. It is believed to help ease mood swings and soothe feelings of emotional aggrevation resulting in a more optimistic attitude toward life. What more could you ask?
I craft my jewelry by hand in my shop in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. I strive to produce jewelry for those who value wearing exclusive, one-of-a-kind accessories that make them feel special. My goal is to provide the means for turning an ordinary outfit into something extraordinary by adding a striking piece of jewelry. I use quality materials in my creations with an emphasis on color combinations and unique designs. No two pieces are alike. Each piece is an inspired creation fashioned lovingly by hand with a desire to bring joy to the wearer.

Beginning at an early age I wanted my wardrobe to "stand out" and I learned to utilize accessories to turn an average outfit into a fashion statement. This led me to begin making jewelry for myself and later as gifts. In the last few years I studied, took classes in jewelry design and began to devote my full attention to this art that brings me such joy. I created my business due to the many requests I received from people who saw and wanted to purchase my creations.
As I create each piece I try to imagine how it will look on the person who buys it. Because there is quite a bit of time involved in creating a design and choosing the materials coupled with actual work of putting the materials together to complete the dreamed of piece, I often form a personal attachment to the creation. I hope it will bring joy to the person who chooses it.
