Precious Metal Clay is a pure metal powder mixed with non-toxic binders and water. When kiln, torch or stove fired, the binders burn away, leaving pure, 99.9% silver. It can be sculpted prior to firing and once fired, it's pure silver and can be treated like any other pure silver. I use PMC to design many of my hand-crafted silver pendants and clasps and love working with this medium because it allows me to be very creative with the most artistic flexibility.

Healing Properties of Pearls

I love working with fresh water pearls and I get inspired from the ocean! 

I have always been inspired by the sounds of the ocean and because of my love for water, I especially enjoy creating designs from fresh water pearls. This necklace was created from fresh water pearls and yellow quartz crystals. I suppose you could say this is one of my favorite pieces because yellow is and has always been one of my favorite colors! My mom told me that my very first word I spoke was "amarillo" which means yellow in spanish, and apparently this color still has significant meaning for me. Yellow signifies happiness and "light" and I love the color in my jewelry and my wardrobe. I designed the clasp in fine silver or precious metal clay, and hand-crafted the detail for hours so the artistry is present on both sides of the pendant.

It is believed that fresh water pearls signify wisdom, honesty, purity and grace. Some believe that pearls provide a mirror in which to see ourselves, as well as allow us to see how others see us. Whatever pearls may signify for you individually, they are created to make you look and feel beautiful.

The Collection

"I design pieces for the woman who has a strong sense style and is not afraid to show it. My dream for this collection is to help women feel as beautiful as they look, through my hand-crafted jewelry, she will wear them with her unassuming sense of elegance and flair. These pieces have been created with impeccable detail and unique elements of design so they are as irreplaceable as the woman who wears them. My wish is that you enjoy wearing them as much as I have enjoyed creating them for you."
