Earbobs ...
Once upon a time, this type
of earring was called an
“earbob,” so okay, why
not call these earbobs?
Handcut, shaped and
polished laminated
acrylic in turquoise and
yellow. This tends to
make the yellow appear
lime green, so I think you
can kind of sneak a third
color in when you are
wearing these.
Eclipse earrings
...
One of my favorite
sights is the crescent
moon in the sky – I
hope I captured it in
these. Sterling
“moon” and backs,
aluminum sky. A note
on construction of
these: aluminum can’t
be soldered in any
conventional way,
so it needs to be
“cold-connected.”
Lest you think they
are glued, they are
not! These are joined
by three rivets,
cleverly made
invisible.
Knock Knock! ...
Hand cut, laminated and
polished “doorknocker”
style earrings, with red
and yellow posts and a
clear knocker. Sure to
catch everyone’s eye.
Sterling posts.
Circle Game
earrings ...
Circles on circles.
Layered anodized
aluminum discs,
joined with a
contrasting spacer
rivet, dangle from
contrasting
aluminum tubes
joining them to
brushed sterling
discs with sterling
posts. Fun for your
ears.
Disc-OH earrings ...
Two tone sterling disc
earrings – one half
brushed silver, the
other black patina.
Separated by a shiny V-
groove. Groove-V.
Handmade sterling
wires, too.
Bracelets from the Past
Orange
triangular
acrylic bangle,
handcut,
handpolished ...

Accented with
fuchsia, turquoise
and metallic
green-blue polka
dots of poured epoxy
resin. Revisit the
30s, the 40s, the 50s
and the 60s with this
bracelet.
Look for the silver
lining ...
this frosty acrylic
triangular bangle is
silver-leafed inside.
Makes it look kind of
like a big chunk of
platinum around your
wrist. Subtly striking.
Double layer
yellow pearlized
acrylic bangle,
with aluminum
spacers ...

Decidedly space age
for something
inspired by the sun
and the sky. Acrylic,
aluminum and
sterling silver all
combine their
efforts to get you
attention.
Necklaces from the Past
This delicate two strand
necklace shows off
unusual vintage Czech
beads of lilac glass,
smothered in a bronze
coating. The lilac glints
from underneath and in
person these beads will
take your breath away.
Spaced with tiny copper
seed beads, finished with a
gold-filled vintage flower
clasp.  Goes with
everything and anything,
dressed up or down.
Tigereye Multistrand
Necklace ...
Sometimes, the better part
of design valor is to know
when to leave a beautiful
thing alone (in my humble
opinion!). This is why this
five strand necklace is
tigereye and only tigereye,
with a simple sterling silver
slide clasp.
Onyx Tassel
Necklace ...
A rather sweetly
old-fashioned bead
chain of onyx beads, set
off with a tassel of
smaller onyx and
stunning West German
vintage givre beads with
freshwater pearls.
