When did you get "serious" about jewelry?
2000. I bought my first Bead and Button magazine. It's been uphill from there. It is a passion I have never experienced before. I am in love with beads.
How long have you been making jewelry?
My first piece was a peace sign way back in the 60's. I used a loom to make a bracelet. I still have it or did I give it to my granddaughter?
Do you make bridal jewelry?
Absolutely! If the bride purchases her wedding party jewelry from me, I give her a set at no charge. I work closely with the bride to create a design that is all hers. No one will have the same design. If the bride already has her jewelry, I will design one for her honeymoon!
How do you keep jewelry at a good price?
First of all, I love what I do! I don't expect to make a million dollars. I want the women and girls that wear my pieces to love what they wear. The look on someone's face when I present the piece to them is worth more than money can buy.
Where do you live?
I live in Middle Georgia. Wrightsville is our county seat. For all of you football folks, Herschell Walker is our claim to fame.
Do you make "Mommy Bracelets"?
Of course! I use two different size letter beads. On a bracelet with more than three strands I use a smaller letter bead. I use a larger letter bead on 1,2 and three strand bracelets. The first strand is $25 and each strand after that is an extra $15.
Do you make jewelry for little girls?
Absolutely! I love to use small pearls and whatever color crystal requested.
Have you ever considered making dog or cat collars?
Give me the challenge! I have done a "Doggie" bracelet for a lady who has two labs. Below is the bracelet and earrings. I'm not a professional photographer as you can tell. I probably need to invest in a lint getterupper. You can tell the difference between a "mommy" bracelet and a "doggie"bracelet. The give away are the bones!!!
put two bone charms on the bracelet which put apart from a "Mommy" bracelet.
