I have always enjoyed being creative – painting, cross stitching, sewing, crafts, etc. That lead me to creating jewelry and gifts in my home in Blue Ridge, GA. My zest for making jewelry became overly abundant and I thought, “What the heck am I going to do with all this?!”
Estela Carson, friend and owner of Silk Road Traveler, had faith in me and agreed to sell my jewelry and gifts. And, as the saying goes, “The rest is history.”
I love co-creating with nature to make hand created, unique, one of a kind jewelry and specialty gifts. I feel Mother Nature has created so many beautiful stones, crystals and metals that I am fortunate to design with their inherent beauty.
Most of my designs, whose colors from nature inspire me, are classic, timeless, and sometimes funky! I create pieces that I feel one would feel good wearing and want to treasure for a lifetime.
Reactions to my creations have varied over the years from feeling like a kid on Christmas morning, to being reduced to tears for the feelings the pieces created within them. I often hear, “I don’t know why, but I am drawn to this for some reason.” Well, I know! I feel each piece selects their owner because they, the piece, knows what each person needs! I believe that stones and crystals have an energy to them that connects with people for a specific reason.

My creations are woven with spirituality with the intention to positively inspire, influence and enhance people’s lives.
I have my designs at Teatrees Boutique Spa, downtown Blue Ridge - www.TeatreesMassage.com - and Altelier Clothiers, downtown Ellijay - www.MyJorgiClothes.com
