Skills and Techniques
I can do anything I put my mind to especially if it has to do with jewelry designing, this truly makes my heart sing! I'm not limited to these but I mostly work with crystals and pearls in a variety of metal designs. Perhaps it's the nature of these two gemstones I'm drawn to the most, who knows, all I know is that over time I have collected more than enough of each in an assortment colors to choose from and that's a good thing for me!

My talent is my dream come true. LOVE fills my heart, JOY is the smile on my face and PEACE are the shoes I walk in. My get-a-way: I enjoy the ocean, swimming, skiing, snorkeling, relaxing and walking on the beach at the waters edge of the shear foaming surf with a cup of coffee in hand during the morning or a glass of champagne in the evening under the stars watching the sparkling waters move about and hearing the gently rolling waves collapse upon the shore. My reality: Living each day to it's fullest and blessing another. My goal: To have someone in every part of the world feeling special wearing my designs. My part: Putting all of my God-given talents into the creation you purchase for your pleasure and satisfaction. Yes I admit I have an attraction to everything that glitters! Stars, diamonds, crystals, silver, gold, just like a mockingbird, my nest is filled with shiny things. I'm eclectic at heart, what can I say, I enjoy working with many mediums.

Don't have a ring sizer handy? get a piece of string or ribbon, or even a strip of paper 1/4" no wider than 1/2" and wrap it around your finger or toe at the widest part. Make a mark where the end meets. Measure by laying it out next to a ruler that has milimeters which will tell you how many millimeters (this is the most precise way and most rulers have mm) or inches the finger or toe is. If you are an in between size, use the next size up. Example only, not true to scale: holding string or strip along mm side of ruler now count the dashes - IiiiiIiiiiIiiiiIiiiiIiiiiIiiiiIiiiiIiiiiIiiiiIiiii = 49 = size 5 ring, easy as pie! *TOE: Rings are often worn on the 2nd toe (next to the BIG toe) and is usually the same size as your pinky finger, but you can wear a ring on which ever toe you like. * Size in Millimeters = * Size in Inches (US) 1----------39mm = *1----------1 8/16 1.5--------41mm = *1.5--------1 9/16 2----------42mm = *2----------1 10/16 2.5--------43mm = *2.5--------1 11/16 3----------44mm = *3----------1 12/16 3.5--------46mm = *3.5--------1 13/16 4----------47mm = *4----------1 14/16 4.5--------48mm = *4.5--------1 7/8 5----------49mm = *5----------1 15/16 5.5--------51mm = *5.5--------2 6----------52mm = *6----------2 1/16 6.5--------53mm = *6.5--------2 1/8 7----------54mm = *7----------2 3/16 7.5--------56mm = *7.5--------2 1/4 8----------57mm = * 8----------2 8/32 8.5--------58mm = *8.5--------2 3/8 9----------60mm = *9----------2 11/32 9.5--------61mm = *9.5--------2 1/2 10---------62mm = *10---------2 14/32 10.5-------63mm = *10.5------2 5/8 11---------64mm = *11---------2 17/32 11.5-------65mm = *11.5-------2 3/4 Conversion charts for International ring sizes also available for most international buyers
