Rock Candy

Colors and textures come together in these geometric and organic necklaces. Dubbed "Rock Candy" each necklace holds a collection of some of my favorite semiprecious gem stones and freshwater pearls. Paired together through complementary colors and varying textures, the hard and softness of each piece brings a balance.

Held tightly on a gold fill wire, the gems sit in a row straight across your neck for a harmonious symmetry among the asymmetric characteristics of gems and pearls. The necklaces are natural, bright, and one of a kind. They hold stones that bring a toughness and colors that brings a sweetness. Rock. Candy.


Pinks, corals, yellows, oranges on gold fill chain. These remind me of sunrises and sunsets. Love like a sunset.






Yellow jade, citrine, pink opal, and a soft pink freshwater pearl.




Cool colors reminiscent of the beach and sky.




Amethysts, chalcedony, and quartz.










And the deep colors for those late nights.


Various amethysts and a purple pearl.


Malachite, green freshwater pearl, sodalite, peridot, blue freshwater pearl.








Are you looking for something sweet?

Carved Shell Flowers and Tiny Pearls

For the Spring I wanted to update one of my favorite styles, the Carved Shell Flower Earrings. A little tweaking of the original style, some material changes, and gathering inspiration from my surrounding environment gives these earrings a fresh new look. The carved shell and freshwater pearl materials are inspired by the walks on the beach and natural materials found there, while the flowers are inspired by the blossoms of the Spring season. This updated version comes as dangling earrings, and as a matching set of earrings and necklace.








Anyone ready for Spring?

Lovely Clusters

This Fall season has me obsessing over natural materials, semiprecious gemstones, and freshwater pearls. Since putting together some earrings earlier this month, I am now happy to add necklaces!

Lovely Clusters are semiprecious gemstones and/or freshwater pearls grouped together on a necklace. Stones and pearls are available in a range of colors, textures, and sizes. The necklaces are completely customizable, allowing you to create your own unique look. There are also favorite honey my heart charms available to add to each necklace.

Yay charms!! A little bit of a heart overload, but I can't help it ;)


Lovely cluster necklaces.


Lapis, aquamarine, and yellow jade.


Pink opal, lapis, and labradorite.


Malachite, purple pearl, and peridot.


Labradorite, purple pearl, silver heart.


Pink opal, malachite, gold fill heart.


Lapis, aquamarine, and puffy gold heart.

I love knowing that every aspect of each necklace has come from the earth.

What is your favorite gemstone? What is your favorite combination?

Freshwater Pearls

My mom recently gave me two freshwater pearl strand necklaces that she no longer wanted. She said I could take them apart and create new pieces with them, yay! One strand of pearls are white, textured, and oval-ish shaped. The other strand is made up of cute and round blueish purple pearls, and they are shiny! I put together a few trial necklaces and bracelets with these pearls, which will be available at the truckit fest on Sunday :)


White freshwater pearl necklace. Love the irregular shapes, the varying sizes, the soft white color.





The blue-ish purple of these pearls is such a fun color. I love the simplicity of a small grouping of mini pearls.


Freshwater pearl bracelet. This is my favorite piece.


The pearls curve nicely around your arm.



I love the natural feel and unique look of freshwater pearls.
