~ I create artisan handcrafted sterling silver contemporary jewelry and 14K gold-filled gemstone earrings. I use only the best stones from the lots I purchase, matching stone size, color and clarity to create a near perfect matching set of earrings.

* Most of my Gemstone Earrings have Sterling Silver Earwires or 14K Gold-filled Earwires. I have some lovely Earrings with unique Sterling Silver Bali Shepherd Hooks in 20 gauge (very secure and substantial silver) and since I fell in love with the Bali Earwires, I have ordered more of them in different designs.

My Studio is located in the beautiful Thousand Islands, Canada, along the St. Lawrence River and just 15 minutes from the Bridge to the United States near Gananoque, Ontario.

The Opal and Tourmaline are October's birthstones.

Derived from the Latin 'Opalus' - precious stone - opals were highly prized by the ancient Romans.

Tourmaline can be nearly any color of the rainbow, a fact used to colorful effect in some tennis bracelets. Elbaite is the tourmaline mineral that is most often found in jewelry, as its color is extremely variable with the most common colors being red, pink, green, blue, orange and yellow. Elbaite has many variety names based on color. A beautiful blue variety is called indicolite (also known as indigolite), the pink to red variety is called rubellite, and the green variety is known as verdelite. Often a specimen can have more than one color zone in the same crystal, with the most famous variety being a pink and green combination called watermelon tourmaline.
