Welcome to Sparkle!

Welcome…

The purpose of this site is mainly to showcase the jewelry I’m inspired to create.   I use semi-precious gemstones, sterling silver, mixed metals, czech glass, swarovski crystals and beads of all kinds – shell, decoupage, ceramic, wood and vintage lucite.   I’ll be updating it often with new designs.   Whether you are looking for something special for yourself or as a gift,  you’ll find something to suit your style – a handcrafted one-of-a-kind piece.

What inspires me…

Inspiration is everywhere – from books and magazines for style trends to taking cues from the shape of the beads and colors within the gemstones.   The hues of the ocean and the sky are my favorite and I find them in the soft blue and green tones of amazonite and turquoise.   Earthy tones are scattered throughout my pieces like tigereye, hematite and smoky quartz. For punches of color I like bright floral tones like corals, carnelian and rhodonite.

I hope you enjoy this site!
