I once heard a woman say, “Call me a crow, I love shiny things”. While my eyes do wander to all things shiny, my love of jewelry begins with my love of natural coloured stones. For as long as I can remember I’ve been a rock hound, combing beaches for polished pebbles of agate, carnelian, or jade. This passion morphed into a zeal to find the perfect strand of semi-precious beads: cut, colour and clarity ~ mined, cut, polished and strung by someone in some far-off land like India…Yes, call me a romantic. I discovered wire-wrapping as a technique to showcase beadstone jewelry. For me, it’s a meditation lost in the awe of natural beauty, appreciating that every stone is unique, just like us. There’s a great joy in selecting stones and adding my creative touch to produce a piece that brings a little bit of beauty into the world. Someone once remarked to me that jewelry is not only a ‘feel good’ for the wearer but also a gift to others, for they are the observers.
