FRENCH HOOK - BEZEL DESIGN
Simple, lightweight, comfortable, and easy to hook through
the ear.  No more posts sticking you in the head while
talking on the phone!!  I provide small clear plastic backs to
put on the ear wire to keep them securely in place.  This
design is great for jewelry lovers with metal allergies or
silver-sensitive ears (without an earring back and a flat
silver surface, there is less metal contact with the ear).       
                               
Some of the shapes suitable for this design that I
frequently have in my inventory are shown below.  Stones
with more unique patterns are usually cut in larger shapes
to showcase the designs.  Other stones or finished pieces
may be available, so Email me (click the link at the top of
the page) to find out what's currently in stock.  
FRAMED DESIGN WITH POSTS
This framed design works best with a post, but can be made
with a French hook.  I place the posts near the center for              
smaller earrings and higher for larger ones.  This, with
a larger earring   back allows the earring to lay flat
on the ear.  Both large sterling backs and plastic
discs are available.




Here I have pictured some examples of types of stones that are
often cut in shapes suitable  for this design.  I carry dozens of
stones in various shapes and sizes, and what I have is constantly
changing.   E-mail me (click the link at the top of the page) to find

SIMPLE BEZEL DESIGN WITH POSTS
This design is a simple one that consists of a stone in a setting made
of a silver back and strip of silver that holds the stone. Sterling backs
or plastic disks are provided for the posts.  Posts are centered for
the smaller earrings.  Shapes and sizes of stones available to me are
constantly changing.  E-mail me (click the link at the top of the page)

BEADED EARRINGS
Simple, beautiful, and affordable.  All beads are solid sterling silver.  The more
elaborate, or filigree-type beads are individually hand-made by silversmiths in Bali.
This design uses two stones and two hollow tubes per
earring.  Since the tubes are hollow, the earrings are
lighter in weight than they look.  A post works best
with these, but French hooks are available with a
custom order.  The top stones are usually determined
by colors in the bottom stone, but I frequently use
pearls or onyx.  Other top accent stones such as
amethyst, garnet, tourmaline, or topaz may be
ordered.  Here are some examples of stones that are
often cut in shapes suitable for this design.

OXIDIZED
Fun, contemporary, and different.  I use a special
technique to create colorful patinas on sterling silver
and then seal the color with an acrylic sealer.
