Sweet and Spikes
17" (extender can be added)
Pink is a sweet color, and these small round stones play well against the silver accent tube and tiny silver spiked beads.
SOLD



Quiet Morning
17.5" with 2" extender (charm is 2" starting with circle of beads)
This delicate necklace is accented by pink transparent beads and is anchored by one of my favorite beads that is gray and pink with white and pink fissures.  It reminds me of the quietness of a Sunday morning in winter.
SOLD



North Coast
24"
This long necklace reminds me of coral, but these are off-white and beige stones with brown fissures.  I can see it working well with a tone-on-tone brown sweater as well as against a classic chambray shirt.  It's cool and versatile.
SOLD


Mars
17.5" with 2" extender (charm is nearly 3" starting with circle of beads; bead is 1.5" x 1")
When I found this bead, my mind got a little blown.  Mother Nature is an incredible artist, and this stone bead is testament to that.  I paired it with other neutral beads to compliment the stone and let it shine.
SOLD

Wabi-Sabi
19.5" with 2" extender (the bead is around 1 1/2" each side)
I don't think the pictures do the coolness of this bead justice.  Not only does it have a natural hole in it, but it also has several clearer spots that run through the bead.  "Wabi-Sabi" is Japanese, referring to finding beauty in imperfection.  If you think this bead is as lovely as I think it is, then you're a subscriber to Wabi-Sabi, too.
SOLD



Moroccan Dreams
18" with 2" extender
I've always dreamed of wandering the markets at Marrakech, and this statement necklace is a reflection of that dreaming.  The play on the delicate red and silver with the larger beads would add spice to an understated outfit.
SOLD


Feathers
23.5"
Sometimes a girl just needs something simple yet fun, and this long necklace does the trick well.
SOLD

Universe
18" (extender can be added)
This necklace reminds me of the power of cosmic formation, with the collision of bodies forming new planets through fire.  Or, it's just a cool-looking piece.  Pairs well with the "Flint and Fire" necklace.
$18


Tough Girl
17" (extender can be added)
This necklace has a cool vibe to it, with its clear, black and white glass beads and unexpected swath of oxblood glass spiked beads.  Wear it with confidence.

The World
16.5" (extender can be added); 2" charm (starting with circle of beads)
The natural colors in this necklace remind me of earth and water and the sky at sunset, the many parts of our world that make us wonder at the glory of it all.
$26



Texas
16.5"
This necklace was inspired by the edgy city of Austin, Texas, where the old-world charm of Texas bumps up against the unexpected weirdness of the nightlife.  It's another homage to my love of blue and red put together to create a cool, confident statement.
SOLD



Sea
18" (extender can be added)
I adore the silver mixed with the sea-green beads in this beautiful homage to the calm and majesty of the sea.

This is the ultimate in versatility; a variety of beads are tied onto a grey silk thread.  It looks great alone or layered with other necklaces.

Mrs. Dalloway
24"; 3.5" charm
Virgina Woolfe's character Mrs. Dalloway might appreciate this simple, versatile, and beautiful necklace.  It channels high society but would look great with a casual outfit, too.  Wear it alone or layer it with your other special silver necklaces.
SOLD



Mossy Stone
16.5" (extender can be added); 2.5" charm (starting with the circle of beads)

Mary J
18.5" with 1.5" extender;  2.5" charm
This gorgeous statement necklace is named after my mother, a woman with a cool sense of style and Nordic roots, reflected in this amazing white, green and gold stone that demands attention.
$28



Jupiter
16" with 2" extender; 1.5" charm (starting with circle of beads)
This is an incredible feature bead.  It's only 1" by .5", but it contains an entire planet's worth of detail.  The green necklace beads showcase this beautiful world.
SOLD



Ice at Midnight
16.5" with 1.5" extender; 1" charm
This bead reminds me of the many cracks and fissures in a plane of ice on a northern Minnesota lake, late at night in the winter.  The matte black beads allow the large bead to stand out.
