Each year Tucson is home to one of the largest gem shows in the world.  My first experience attending the gem show was overwhelming, but mesmerizing.  If you can imagine tent after tent, hotel after hotel, filled with gemstones of every color in the rainbow.  I was hooked, and thus began my dream to create handcrafted, beaded gemstone jewelry.

It has been six years since I made my first gemstone beaded necklace.  Designing each piece is always a labor of love—you just know when it all comes together.  I feel such joy each time I hear one of my customers say, “I just have to have this, it was made for me”.
