St. Hubert, for Hunters


St. Hubert, the patron saint of archers, forest workers, hunting, huntsmen, metal workers and dogs. This is a vintage medal measuring 3/4". I have a collection of different medals that I have picked up along my journey and have decided to incorporate them in my jewelry. This one is very simple. It hangs from a dark brown cotton cord which I can make in 16, 18 or 20 inches long.

Hearts on Leather

A silver (PMC) heart is embellished with a small brass heart and black bead. The pendant measures approx. 1"x 1". A thin black cord with "S" sterling silver closure completes this necklace and can be made to the measurement needed.

Cecily's Necklace


The second necklace I ever made was for my daughter, Cecily. It is neutral so that she can wear it with everything and she does.

This necklace is made using gray fresh water pearls, snow flake obsidian roundel beads that are wire wrapped with sterling silver wire and silver handmade charms and spacers.
This necklace measures 19" from neck to end of black glass bead. It will become a favorite.

Amber's shell




Amber loves receiving special things with love from her grandmother. Amber loves going to Hawaii with her family and so I used this shell I had gotten in Maui to make this vintage looking necklace. The necklace is handmade except for the sterling silver chain at the top. It will remind one of going to the beach when you were young and is made in a antique sort of way.
17" long, but may be shortened.
