Jewelry
Thank you for taking a look at my website. The jewelry you see here is handcrafted from worldwide
components in my studio. The Moon Cradle Studio is located in beautiful Creston, Montana just a
few miles from Glacier National Park.
Each piece is hand made using a variety of materials such as
sterling silver, fine silver, semi-precious and precious gem stones, 14k gold, leather, shell and
just about anything I can turn into jewelry. I make my own fine silver pendants and findings.
I frequently use Free Trade beads and findings whenever I can, knowing that women who made them can
earn fair income for their families by selling their beautiful crafts.
The pieces are strung on a
7 to 49 strand cabled wire that is coated with nylon for strength and fluidity. I design so the
pieces drape and are weighted to hang comfortably. No one likes a scratchy neck wire or a clasp
that requires contortions to get it on and off. Some of these beads have a history of their own
such as the vintage pre WWI beads and some are heritage beads (turquoise and onyx). I also
incorporate antique pieces into some of my designs and restore beaded jewelry.
