Title:  "Ocean Rhapsody" 2006  One-of-a-Kind Fabricated Pendant: Sterling, Northridge Plume Agate Cabochon.  This pendant is 2.5" by 2.5" and is sold without the neckband. The stunning beauty of the "plume agate" cannot be fully appreciated from the photo.  It has true 3-D depth and takes on the image of a sea floor with ocean plants swaying in the gentle currents.  It was this sea bed image that prompted the nautical theme.  Small tropical fish are hand pierced into the lower portion of the pendant and hand-shaped silver porpoises leap playfully over the cresting waves. Twin sea horses, clasp a sea shell to provide a secure neckband attachment.  An elegant piece of jewelry that can be worn dressy or casual.  
Price: $385.00



Title: "Northern Lights" 2006.
One-of-a-Kind Fabricated Pendant/Pin: Sterling, 14k Gold, Sitchite Cabochon. The pendant measures 1.5" by 1.5" and is sold without the neck band. Contemporary in design, this beauty's golden, mountain peaks point to the dark oxidized sky with its sterling granulated stars.  The filaments of color running through the unique Sitchite cabochon flicker like northern lights in the starlit, night sky.  Insert a fastener through the hidden bail and "Nothern Lights" converts to a pin/broach. The simple contemporary look of this piece lends itself to either stunning evening attire or jeans/casual office dress. Worn with a leather cord, "Northern Lights" is transformed into a fashionable piece of gender-neutral jewelry.   Price: $225.00



Title: "Moroccan Portal" 2006
 One-of-a-Kind Fabricated Pendant: Sterling, Petrified Dinosaur Bone Cabochon and Trillion-Cut Oregon Sunstone.  This pendant is hollow constructed, measures 2.5" by 2.5" and is sold without the neck band.  The design picks up a Middle-Eastern image with the laminated sterling, hand-pierced lace work on the face of the pendant forming an exotic Doorway or Window".   The red "dino" bone brings a bold splash of color and the Oregon Sunstone provides that touch of flash and sparkle.  When we venture through portals of time and culture our senses are bombarded with stimuli that fascinate and intrigue us.  Sometimes that venture is just around the corner into a segment of our ordinary world or simply risking a new look.  Where will your next adventure take you? This is a stunning pendant that will make a strong statement when you walk into the room. 
Price: $385.00


Title:
"Persian Intrigue": 2006  One-of-a-Kind Pendant/Pin. Sterling, 14k gold, "Arabic Script Jasper" Cabochon and smaller Carnelian cabochon highlights.  This piece measures 3.25" by 1.5" and is sold without the neckband.  The design in this beautiful jasper is composed of tiny sea shells from an ancient seabed which were sealed in a rich brown stone matrix that takes a very high polish.  Inspired by the jasper's name and the stone's shape, this piece reflects the style of the Middle-Eastern script which adorns the glazed tile on many middle-eastern buildings and homes and perhaps even, with a little imagination, that ancient sword worn by Persian royalty.  Remove the neckband or chain and insert a fastener through the hidden bail and "Persian Intrigue" converts to a pin/broach.  This is surely an attention grabber and conversation piece.  Can be worn with evening attire or casual dress. Price: $225.00


Title:  "Play Me", Fabricated One-of-a-Kind Pendant/Pin, Sterling, Maple-Burl Heart.  This pendant is a part of the "Wounded Heart Series" and measures 3.5" by 2".   All of us are wounded in the simple act of living and carry the scars of those wounds, represented here by the complex and beautiful patterns in the Maple-burl wood..  Each of us react to heart wounds differently and in our need for love, leave obvious signs of how to reach us.  Play Mesymbolizes those who are instruments of romantic music waiting for the musician.  The silver note buried within the recess of the heart is an invitation to those interested enough to read (understand) us that sweet music is ready to be released in response to appropriate love.  Shown here without a chain or neckband, Play Me can be worn as a pendant or remove the neckband or chain and insert a fastener into the hidden bail and it converts into a pin/broach.  Play Me makes a dramatic visual statement and can be worn with evening attire or elegantly casual dress.  Dress it down with a leather cord, jeans and western boots. Price: $ 385.00
