Design
I use a
variety of new and vintage beads, jewels and findings. I have a amazing
inventory to draw from. Beads from all around the world
and vintage pieces I have collected over years and through
out my travels. In fact some of my materials I use are truly
from the unknown . I will pull a drawer out and and say,
"wow, where did I get this?" This is fantastic. I
surprise myself. I believe when your designing all individual
pieces, with all these quality materials, there is a energy that goes
into each piece, that's all it's own. I call this pink
energy. It's part me, part my love of the materials
and part the excitement of some one also getting some pink energy from
each piece I create. I have put all necklaces into five
catagories/styles. Many of
the pieces can also fit into some of the other categories so
it might help to take a sneak peek into the all the styles to be sure
you find just what you might be looking for.
Styles
|
Choker
style- This style is fun and funky there truly
unique and each
piece is a little mystery from the past. The chokers can be
worn with absolutely anything. I have a lot of fun designing the
chokers except for the fact I want to put a frame around them, however
I want to share them with you just as much. They are made
from vintage earrings, pendents and other pieces connected together on
leather choker or a chain. The chokers are made adjustable for
size. I
hope you enjoy them as I do. |

Fairy
style I
really love my fairy necklaces they are chuck full of the riches of the
oceans the land and the magic of a fairy that takes flight on her
gossamer wings. This style is a pure combination of
mother of pearl shell beads, rhinestone bead caps and crystal as the
center point. The rest of the necklace follows in a random
order of none stop high quality crystal, pearl, gems, rhinestone shell,
glass and vintage beads. |

Artware
style Sure to be a
conversation piece. These are all so unique, I have had a
customer tell me she met her boyfriend because of one of my artware
necklaces, it's what started there conversation. This style
is a real combination of vintage earrings, broaches and other vintage
treasure pieces. These pieces are so unique and different a
description
is difficult to use in summing them up. They are featured on
my web site.

Rock
Glam style This is a
fabulous style it's rock and roll with a touch of
girl. It's class with edge. It's like waring a
attitude and caring it off with grace. I love this style you
can dress it up or down. I often ware my rock-on necklaces
with a t-shirt and then just change into a dress a hit the
town. This style is a combination of vintage or
sterling chain, rhinestones, crystals, gem stone
beads, leather, unique vintage pieces and a lot of fun. I also
buy beads from credible bead companies and I buy at big bead
conventions from very reputable new and vintage bead dealers. |

Chandelier
style I have
always been fascinated with chandeliers. What an incredible way to
display a source of light. Well I wanted to wear one so, this style is
made using vintage tassels. Crystals adorn the ends of the
tassel and they sparkle from every direction. This style I
also do using glass, rhinestone, sterling silver and vermeil chain,
beads and bead caps . They are strung on chain with crystals
inserted in chain. |

There are also a great many of these and other designers with quality
pieces that are unsigned. Collecting vintage jewelry can be a art it
