Jewelry

Jewelry - Making it work for me

I have been making jewelry for over 15 years. I have just decided that it has become a life long adventure and I am not quite sure where it is taking me. For now it is helping me more that I am helping it (if you know me, you know what I am talking about).

I love working with semi-precious stones, fresh water pearls, sterling silver & 14 kt gold. The colors and the shapes of the beads inspire my designs. The textures of the stones are also inspiring.


new site

The new site is http://www.rusticstarfish.com/

Since this type of site is new for me, please feel free to leave comments or ask questions.

Rustic: (according to Merriam-Webster)
a : of, relating to, or suitable for the country; rural
b : made of the rough limbs of trees
c : finished by rusticating
d : lacking in social graces or polish

Starfish: (according to Merriam-Webster)
1 : any of a class (Asteroidea) of echinoderms that have a body of usually five arms radially arranged about a central disk and feed largely on mollusks (as oysters) —called also sea star

Well, I suppose I should have actually looked up the word 'rustic' BEFORE I chose it for my company name, right? I do not live close to or near the rural country, nor do I make anything from rough limbs nor are my limbs rough. I do not know how to rustiCATE anything. I hope that I do not lack social graces and I do like to polish things. So why RUSTIC?

New website

I am just getting started with my new website. I will be selling home, gift and jewelry products.
