This necklace is made with a white agate drusy cabochon, hand wrapped in sterling silver. The sparkle on this beautiful cab is just outstanding. Of course the photograph doesn't capture just how brilliant the sparkle is but it really is extraordinary. It is a nicely sized piece, measuring three inches from the top of the bail to the bottom and is 1 1/4 inches wide.

This necklace is made with a red agate drusy cabochon, hand wrapped in sterling silver. The necklace is made of three strands of matching glass seed beads. The focal point is very striking, the cab has great color and depth, plus a lot of sparkle. The length of the necklace 16 to 18 inches, using the two inch extension chain.

This necklace is made with faceted, Smokey Quartz and sterling silver. It has been hand coiled which takes time to create. I designed this with versatility in mind. I wanted a piece that was neutral, that would go with just about anything you wore it with. It has a classic look, one that will not go out of style while still being unique and different from anything else other gals would have in their closets. It measures 16 inches to 18 inches, using the extension chain.

This necklace is made of solid sterling bali beads and smooth, brushed surface sterling beads. It has been hand coiled in sterling wire that took hours of work and it is very hard to part with. It has a wonderfully exotic look about it. It has a pair of matching ear rings of the same bali beads, only a little smaller. It measures 18 inches long but is adjustable when you use the extension chain.

This interesting necklace is made with mosaic turquoise beads from Nepal and solid turquoise beads with gold filled bead caps and findings. It has been hand coiled in 14 K gold filled wire and sterling silver wire. It measures 18 inches long and is adjustable. A very pretty, exotic piece.

This necklace is made of solid copper, Swarovski crystals and glass art beads. The links have been hand made to create this long, luxurious chain. I chose a denim blue color to go with the orange of the copper. The two colors are very dynamic together. Copper is flattering to all skin types and long chains are very popular now. This one measures 30 inches long and has a matching pair of ear rings that go with it. They measure 2 inches from the top of the french hook and are 1/2 inch wide.

What fun you can have with PMC! The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. This necklace has a center piece toggle of fine silver that was hand molded, fired and hand finished. It has been oxidized to bring up contrast. The necklace is strung with fresh water pearls and nuggets of peridot. It has a rich, luxurious texture to it. It measures 18 inches long and is double crimped on both sides for strength.

This necklace is made of fresh water pearls, with tear drop shaped, faceted Iolite, Ruby and Peridot for splashes of color. It is rich, elegant and playful at the same time. The pearls feel like silk on your neck. The clasp is a beautiful, flower shaped toggle so the necklace looks pretty from the back too. It has been double crimped on both sides for strength and french wire covers and protects the ends. It measures 16 inches long. Very hard to let go of.

This necklace is the first of a series I am doing in precious metal clay. The center piece is hand carved, fine silver and finished with an interesting patina, then hand burnished until it shines. A double strand of fresh water pearls in white and copper complete the necklace. It has a fresh, clean elegance about it. I am currently designing ear rings and a double strand, pearl bracelet to make a set. It measures 18 inches long and has a two inch extension chain and a lobster claw clasp.

This necklace is a new design. Composed of solid copper and black onyx, it is a mix of many styles that I have been working on lately. The creative journey is one that is hard to predict. I will set out thinking I'll go this way and the stones and wire have a different path they want to take. So I run with them, wherever they are going. The copper is 14 ga. so it very strong, bound by 20 ga. and has been oxidized and buffed back to a shine. The chain is handmade also. It is 18 inches long and...

This necklace is made with turquoise, sterling silver and Swarovski crystals. It is carefully hand coiled which takes hours and hours of work. To emphasize the blue/green color of the turquoise and give the necklace a little flash, I chose crystals of the same coloring. This is a classic piece of jewelry and can be worn with so many things. There are ear rings that go with it also. The length of the necklace is 15 to 17 inches, using the 2 inch extension cord.

This unusual necklace is made with natural carnelian and sterling silver beads. I coiled this one by hand and placed swirls (I know, I'm an swirl addict) on the end of each stone and wrapped them in. It was a lot of work but I am pleased with the results. It is unique and has it's own very interesting look. It measures 16 to 18 inches long, using the 2 inch extension chain.

This pendant is made with turquoise and sterling silver. The bail (the piece that that holds the pendant to the chain or neck wire) is made of of twisted 16 ga. sterling and is very unique. The center piece measures 2 1/4 inches long from where it drops from the neck wire. The neck wire can be molded to fit your neck and you can take the pendant off and wear other things on it.

This necklace is made of blue/green turquoise, Swarovski crystals and sterling beads. I hand coiled this piece which takes many hours of careful, hard work. This piece looks great with an open collared shirt or a V neck sweater. Summer or winter, year after year, turquoise is classically beautiful and never goes totally out of style. This necklace is unique and everyone will ask about it because they probably have never seen such a way of making jewelry. It really does turn heads. It measures...

This necklace is made of sterling chain, hand made links of sterling silver and champagne colored Swarovski crystals. It is 31 inches long and originally designed to be worn as a companion piece to any pendant but it can also be worn on its own. When I designed the necklace, I made sure it had good balance so as it moves on your neck, it will not become lop-sided and hang off center (I hate that). The textured chain balances the smooth loops and the soft color of the crystals is subtle but...

This necklace is made of sterling silver and black onyx. The unusual way of linking the chain came about when I sat some chain down next to my square wire and saw that the two looked interesting next to each other. Since I am a swirl addict, I went for a swirling link of some kind. This is the end result. Something like this could be worn with a T shirt and jeans or your favorite little black dress. I would wear it with anything. The ear rings are sold separately, but look great with it, item...

This necklace is made of unusually shaped, fresh water pearls. The accent beads are copper flower beads and bronze seed beads along with white fresh water pearls. There is rich color palette and interesting texture in the nubby pearls. Greens and bronze mixed with cream and a touch of brown are all present and working harmoniously. It really is a neutral piece, even with the richness of the colors so it can be worn with many things. It is contemporary and fresh looking. The ear rings are made...

This necklace is made with Bronzite and sterling silver beads and is hand coiled in sterling silver. The accent beads are faceted smokey quartz. The large center stone placed on the diagonal gives the necklace a very dynamic look. The rich color of the bronzite combines a golden brown with specks of black. It is prettier in person than in the picture. I wear one very similar and it definitely turns people's heads! It measures 15 1/2 inches to 17 1/2 inches long, using the 2 inch extension...

This necklace was made using a new spiraling technique that I intend to explore thoroughly. It is made with 18 ga. solid copper and sterling silver. This piece took hours to make, way longer that I expected. The chain and clasp are handmade also. The copper has been oxidized to give more dimension to the surface and hand buffed so it shines. It measures 18 1/2 inches long and is adjustable.

This necklace is made of Hessonite garnet, fresh water pearls, smokey quartz and black onyx. The pendant is made of a unique ammonite fossil cab from the Volga River in Russia. I love the rich coloring and unusual shape of the cab. Since I wrap very organically, the shape of the stone has a great influence on just how I wrap it. I may start out with one thing in mind, however, and end up with quite another. It is always an adventure. This stone took me on one today. I hope you like the end...

This necklace is made of black onyx and Swarovski crystals, hand coiled with sterling silver. It takes quite a bit of work to coil a necklace such as this but it is so worth it! To wear this necklace is to feel like a queen. It will get you noticed, that is for sure. People have stopped me in elevators at the mall and asked "What is that you have on and where on earth did you get it?" People have been very kind to me. But really, it is truly very fun to wear. The reason I put brown crystals...
