About Me

I am a bride getting married in June of 2009 and when I started making my own jewelry for my own wedding I realized that I LOVE doing it! I love working with brides and creating pieces for them. This has become a bit of a hobby for me. Please contact me if you would like a piece customized for you!

Let it SNOW...in March?

Well they say March comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb and I never believed that until today when I woke up to 10" of snow, IN DELAWARE, IN MARCH, could it be? I hope that this weather is not a predictor for the Spring to come! I am personally ready for the warm spring days and the blooming flowers. I am sure many of us feel the same way! At least one of the members of my household was enjoying the snow. Bootsie could not get enough of the white flakes flying down to to tease her.

I strapped on my long johns, my boots, my hat and my gloves and weathered the elements to try to get a few shots however the drift winds did not allow me to take too many!

Shell Flower clasp bracelet!

Hello everyone! I recently ordered some clasps but when this particular one arrived I quickly realized it was too big to be just a clasp so I used is as a centerpiece for one of my pearl bracelets. It is quite a show stopper!



A necklace for Jenna7473 :)

Jen contacted me to create something special for her...my VERY FIRST pearl necklace. She emailed me the design (you rock Jen!!!) and I created it :) I hope you love it!

Help this beauty find a new home!



I had an adorable brooch that I figured would look amazing in a three strand bracelet. It needs a new home! Contact me if this piece speaks to you :)



A bracelet for soontobemrsanthony!

I just completed a bracelet for a TINY bride :). It was quite a challenge because it was the smallest one that I have made since making the flower girl bracelet that was made for YoungBrides flower girl.

Thanks for your confidence in me Traci!

I used 6mm, 4mm and 3mm swarovski pearls and swarovski rondelles!

A mother daughter connection...


Recently, a bride from PW contacted me to make a brooch bracelet for her wedding, she also wanted one made for her daughter as well so they can share something special on her wedding day. I, myself have a very close connection with my mother so I know how important it is to do something special to honor that relationship.

Thank you Diana for letting me be a part of your special day!

She gave me complete freedom to create one. This is what I came up with!

I used 8mm, 6mm, and 4mm swarovski pearls as well as swarovski rondelles.
