About this Product
Each gemstone in this stunning choker is carefully selected for its natural beauty and unique character. Featuring five graduated gemstones, you can choose from dogtooth amethyst, amazonite, howlite, turquoise, or chrysocolla, each bringing its own distinct charm. The gemstones are paired with sparkling faceted spinel beads and accented with solid copper spacer beads for a warm, sophisticated finish.
Each necklace measures 15 1/2 inches in length and includes a 2-inch copper extension chain for added versatility. The hand-crafted solid copper clasp ensures durability and a secure fit, while nickel-free materials make it a perfect choice for those with sensitive skin.

Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind due to the natural variations in gemstones and handmade components. While the necklace you receive will closely resemble the one pictured, slight differences may occur, enhancing its unique character.

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.
