The SeaSalt Collection
Although I am a ‘summer girl’ I am not a lover of the ocean. It is too big, too unpredictable and too unforgiving for me. That doesn’t mean it leaves me uninspired, quite the opposite. The flowing, limitless nature of these designs; comfortable and soothing are influenced by a calm and serene sea. The Neshaminy Creek and the Delaware River, now those I love.
The Wysteria Collection
Clarissa Pinkola Estes said, “So, the word wild here is not used in its modern pejorative sense, meaning out of control, but in its original sense, which means to live a natural life, one in which the criatura, creature, has innate integrity and healthy boundaries.” That is what I conjure up when I am twisting the metal into jewelry. Let’s honor the natural life, one with integrity and boundaries.
The Community is Essential Collection
The Community is Essential collection is perfect for the person who understands the feeling of fellowship and the sharing of common goals. Designed for, and launched during, the 2017 Carversville Day, this jewelry is to be worn as a reminder that someone, who sincerely cares for you, has your back.
The Manhattan Pendant
Marion Ragsdale was my mother. She grew up in less than idea circumstances, spending time in an orphanage and experiencing loss, abandonment and uncertainty. She somehow managed to put together a very productive life, the last thirty years of which, residing in Manhattan. I made this pendant for her and she wore it well, telling me that she could not walk down the avenue without being stopped, at least once, by someone who admired it. Manhattan was her town, and this pendant, her signature piece.
The Fortis Pendant
Fortis comes from Latin, literally meaning “strong”. This design has an affect on people, almost like an emotional tuning fork. It has been know to give some wearers the sense of being grounded, aligned or supported. Perfect for men, women or children, it can be engraved or set with gemstones, or both. A design that will last forever and always stay strong.
Coquette Earrings
Often called a starter set, these earrings are perfect for the woman who usually feels most comfortable in pearl or diamond studs. They are the work horse of any jewelry collection. Wear them with jeans as you head out to the farmers market or with a little black dress when you are attending a cocktail party. These are also a great starting point for redesigning jewelry you already have.
