About:
Over the years, I have been drawn to the study of antique and ancient beads and artifacts. The impetus and inspiration for my jewelry designs is fed by the fascinating history and stories behind these pieces of stone, shell, glass, and metal that are decades, centuries and, at times, millennia old. My unique creations combine beads, amulets, pendants, and other relics from various ages, cultures, and religions into one-of-a-kind necklaces and earrings, which individuals around the world purchase both for adornment and as collector pieces. Occasionally, I offer unique pieces from other selected designers, as well as original antique ethnic jewelry and collectible beads.
My travels, combined with personal relationships with traders and collectors from Africa, Central and East Asia, the Pacific Rim, and Latin America, allow me to obtain the highest quality materials for my creations. Meeting and becoming friends with so many people who share my love and interest in ethnic jewelry has been a blessing. In fact, it is quite natural to find traders from Mali, Nigeria, and other countries visiting my home, with tubs of beads and artifacts from around the world.
With gratitude, we donate 10% of our profits to relief agencies in countries where our beads and artifacts were originally created and worn.
