Argentium Sterling Silver Earrings with Kingman, Az. Turquoise - sold

This new pair of earrings feature a pair of natural turquoise cabachons from the mine in Kingman, Arizona.  I bought the stones on a trip to Santa Fe in June, 2017.

Sterling Silver Earrings with Ethiopian Opals - Sold

These earrings feature a pair of beautiful Ethiopian opals, measuring approximatey 7mm x 9mm.  These stones have brilliant flashes of blue, green and red hues.  Ethiopia is an emerging new source of natural opals.

Sterling Silver Fossilized Coral Earrings - sold

I created these earrings to coordinate with the shape of the fossilized coral stones.

Sterling Earrings with Miramamba stone - sold

The colors of bronze, red and gold shimmer across the miramamba stones of these dangle earrings.  I reflected the angular shapes of the stones in the design of the earrings.  Miramamba comes from Africa.

Sterling Silver Valentine's Day Heart Earrings

I made this colection of heart earrings for Valentine's Day 2013.  They vary in size and design and range in price from $50 to $65 per pair.  Gents, please don't hesitate.....they won't last long!

Sterling Silver Earrings with Banded Agate - $165 - sold

The varying colors of the Southwest are displayed in these polished triangles of agate.  The earrings move freely on their french wires so the  beautiful stones flash in the light.

Sterling silver earrings with Jasper - $190 -sold

The colors of these bookmatched jasper stones remind me of the rich hues of the Painted Desert in northern Arizona near the Grand Canyon.  I bezel-set them so the stones will be held securely.

Sterling Silver with Malachite earrings - $165 sold

   I designed the earrings with a double " S" curve of silver, cradling the almost 1/2" round malachite gemstones.  The ear-wire is attached between the front and back "S", so the earrings can move easily.

Sterling Silver with Chrysocolla earrings - $175 - sold

   The triangular shape of these beautiful blue/green stones suggested to me the design of these earrings.  I bought the stones on a recent trip to Sedona, Arizona.

Sterling Silver earrings with black pearls - $125

These crescent shaped earrings feature beautiful 9mm blue/black Asian pearls.  They are fan-folded forms and have opposing hammered and brushed finish surfaces.  French wires are concealed behind the earrings for ease when being worn.  They measure ~ 1-1/2" in length.

Sterling Silver Crysacola Earrings - $125 - sold

  I used the shape of this pair of crysacola stones as the inspiration for the design of these sculptured earrings.  They measure 1-3/4" in length.

Sterling Silver Crysacola Earrings - $175 - sold

  These stones are a blend of green and blue with touches of crimson and are nicely complemented by the highly polished sterling silver.  They measure 1-3/4" in length.

Sterling Silver Pearl Earrings -sold

  These 9mm blue-green pearls are mounted on fabric-textured sterling silver sheet.  I like the combination of texture and color in an earring that moves freely.
