Scheherazade

Named for the heroine in 1001 Arabian Nights. She was a fantastic story-teller. So good, in fact, that it saved her life many times over. Since her life was always hanging in the balance, I thought naming these pendulum-shaped earrings after her was appropriate.
Earrings measure 1.63" from the top curve of the solid sterling silver ear wire and are available in sunstone, labradorite, garnet and olive jade. $25.


Aida


Named for the title character in the musical Aida by Guiseppe Verdi. For whatever reason, the name "Aida" popped into my head after completing this earring. The faceted black agate briolette is hand wrapped with solid sterling silver wire. Earrings measure 1.5" from the top curve of the solid sterling silver ear wire. A versatile earring that can be dressed up or down - think of it as the 'little black dress' of earrings! $25. Can also be made with 14k gold-fill.

Goldilocks - Porridge


For all of you who just made a nasty face after reading the name of this earring, I want you to know that I ate porridge (oatmeal) every morning for breakfast all growing up...it's not that bad! Of course I hated it at the time, but now I actually quite enjoy it. I digress. The third installment of the original Goldilocks design represents the contents of the bowls our protagonist tried to consume. These, too, are made with carnelian, albeit a different shade, and sterling silver. Hand-made twisted jump ring. $25.

Goldilocks - The 3 Bears


This is a continuation of the original Goldilocks design, representing the other characters in the bedtime story. Made with faceted tortoise Czech glass donuts and sterling silver. The twisted jump ring is hand-made. $25.

Goldilocks



Ah, yes - a bedtime story classic. The yellow carnelian donuts on these earrings mimic the golden locks of her hair, while the number of donuts on each earrings foreshadows her encounter in the cottage and its inhabitants. Made with carnelian and solid sterling silver. Twisted jump ring is hand-made. $25.

Adonna



Named after my maternal grandmother. She commissioned a custom pair of earrings to match a new shirt and they turned out so well, I decided to make more. I also drew inspiration from the acrylic grape doorstop she uses at her house. Made with Czech picasso glass, Swarovski crystal, bali silver and sterling silver. Also in turquoise and opaque red. $25 for the earrings; $35 for the necklace; $40 for the bracelet.
