About this Product
This necklace features pear-shaped green garnet beads, also known as grossular garnet, measuring 20x15mm. These are beautifully paired with 4mm faceted orange garnet beads. The rough cut of these stunning stones lends the piece an organic look and feel, making it versatile for both casual and dressy occasions. A handmade gold-filled clasp secures the necklace, which measures 16 inches. An extension chain can be added at no extra cost—simply message me when ordering.
Grossular garnet is a stone that symbolizes hope, empowerment, and nurturing qualities from Mother Earth. It is often associated with prosperity, abundance, gratitude, and service to others. The orange garnet, also known as mandarin garnet or spessartine, is said to represent creativity, passion, and personal power. It is believed to ignite the inner fire of imagination, enthusiasm, and motivation.

Meet the Maker
A retired science teacher with 31 years of experience, I now channel my passion for discovery and creativity into my handcrafted jewelry business. Based in Ventura, CA, I live with my husband, Mark, and our two beloved cats, Luna and Bagel. After years of teaching, I’ve embraced this exciting chapter of artistic exploration, crafting jewelry that reflects my transformation from educator to artist.
I began making jewelry for myself and my family over 15 years ago and quickly discovered the calming, meditative joy of the creative process. What started as a personal hobby soon grew into a thriving business, with my pieces finding homes at local markets and beyond. Experimenting with color, texture, and materials keeps me inspired, and I’m always eager to learn new techniques and refine my craft.
My designs blend artistry with craftsmanship, often incorporating the warmth and character of bronze and copper alongside gemstones, glass, and other carefully chosen materials. Each necklace, bracelet, and pair of earrings tells a story, balancing traditional techniques with innovative artistry. My distinctive acrylic pour collection further reflects my love of bold color and fluid, abstract designs.

How it’s Made
My creative process is fluid and intuitive, often taking unexpected turns. The final piece rarely resembles my initial vision. Instead of following a set pattern, I embrace trial and error, arranging materials directly on the wire to refine spacing and balance, whether I’m crafting a necklace, bracelet, or pair of earrings.
I start by gathering stones, pendants, other components—often without a clear plan—and contemplating their combinations. Sometimes the initial arrangement works, but more often, it inspires entirely new ideas.
On lucky days, a design comes together effortlessly, but usually, my process is an evolving exploration guided by the materials themselves.
