About twice a year, I attend gem shows to replenish my gems & pearls. While this process is intensive because I want to be thorough, it is also a lot of fun! Sometimes it's hard to pick just a few—there are so many different displays and so many truly beautiful and unique options to choose from.

I love showcasing my pendulum designs at art shows and galleries—they are so fun to design, and I love exploring the combination of beautiful focal stones and pearls with my silver reticulation technique. If you've been curious about these designs—how they are achieved, why they have the price tag they do, and how I come up with them—I'd love to share some fun details with you. 

Beginning this season, I am offering adjustable sterling rope chains, so this autumn's versatility will include fresh choices of which length to wear your pendants!

In metalwork, reticulation refers to a surface-finishing technique that involves the application of localized heat to the surface of a metal. The technique produces an incredibly beautiful texture pattern of peaks and valleys.
