Labradorite is one of my favourite stones to work with. The luminosity pairs so well with metallic Delica beads to create something magical & otherworldly.

This special piece is currently listed on my website. But be warned, they don’t stay there long!

They say good things come in threes…
and who am I to disagree?

So of course I had to make a third!
This is the ‘mini’ studded cuff, but don’t let ‘smaller’ fool you… consider it the svelte version… and that turquoise colour really pops! 💫

Now we have the full range in width, but I can assure you there will be even more variety in colour & stones.

This has become my new favourite design.
How ‘bout you?

When I’m inspired by a new design, I feel compelled to make it in so many different colour ranges! Is that just me? Or do other makers suffer this too?!

So this looong video shows the process of elaborate studded cuff mark II

… just to acknowledge that these beauties don’t appear out of thin air… even if they look like 💫magic! 💫🪄🔮✨

Beadwork can have a textile quality.
This new design is studded with metallic glass teardrops, engineered in such a way that the effect is like the nap on silk velvet… one of my favourite fabrics! The teardrop studs move smoothly to change direction when stroked. Such a tactile feature!

I’m tempted to make a range of colours… what do you think?

Wow! Paua ✨POPS✨!
And how ‘bout those luscious Biwa pearls??? These are some designs I’ve been working on. They make me happy.

Even AI got the details accurate when placing on a model.

Message me if you’d like to claim any of these beauties 💫

Some of you have asked for earrings that sit directly on the lobe… so I’ve been working on a few designs…

AI did a great job of positioning the Celtic Cross design on an artificial model, but got the Garnet Tassel earrings ever so slightly wrong. They appear a bit larger than actual size and also a bit superimposed.

Never mind, you get the idea?

Rhodonite can be so diverse in appearance. Here’s just a couple of possibilities. I fell in love with this stone for the first time when I worked with these two beauties. This local, Central Otago stone is carved by an artisan here in Dunedin. The matte finish accentuates the stones soft tones, and contrasts well with the metallic beading.

Do you fall for the gentle dusky pink or the vibrant sun-set-over-mountains piece?
