Look how beautiful my aunt Roseann is in this beautiful tourmaline set I made.

This is genuine tourmaline in the different shade ranges it comes in from greens, to pinks, and lastly grays. It’s set in a stainless steel plated in 18kt gold necklace.

The earrings are handmade wire wrapped in 18kt plated wire and the findings are also stainless steel plated in 18kt too.

Quality is 100% paid attention to here and my goal, as well as attention to detail. I want these pieces to last you a lifetime.

It’s all in the details- we made this necklace for my sweet bestie. She was scared to wear it because of the weight, even though we made sure to use wire that would hold up to 26lbs, and high quality findings.

So instead we threaded it onto a 18kt gold plated chain, and added silicone filled spacer beads to the ends to finish it off. I didn’t stop there though- I changed out the clasps to add the original one we had on the necklace, and added a cute extender with another little heart. Hearts and butterflies are her favorite.

I’m so glad she insisted on having it more sturdy because all beaded necklaces like this going forward will be done the same way. It is so much sturdier, and just looks so much better with these finishes.

Jewelry making is an art and you learn and grow as you go. This was an amazing learning experience with an awesome outcome

How surreal is this, for the longest time I can remember making jewelry. I was a nanny and had a lot of time on my hands at naps.

It was a hobby and I only made jewelry as gifts. But every gift I made was treasured even if it wasn’t that great.

My mom would come with me to Lazy days craft fair in Cary my first year as a nanny and after that I was inspired. Goodness I wish I had pictures of some of those earlier pieces.

I do know I have one set I made for my mama, it was out of peacock freshwater pearls. Absolutely stunning and she loved it. When she got sick, she gave it back to me so I could always have it.

I can’t wait to bring you guys along as we make this a bit more professional. Here is the start of my business cards.

Not sure if I will keep it plan on the front like this and have my info on the back or put it all on the front
