Family Tree

I sell necklaces that are created through artistry and my wacky imagination.  
The main portion of my business comes through custom work.

I met Michelle W. through Juliette's ballet class.  Our daughters are magnificent ballerinas, or at learning.  :)  Michelle brought me a handful of mismatched jewelry from her husband's mother's estate.  This gold leaf was one of the pieces.  An earring with no mate...I imagined a family tree full of leaves representing descendants.  
The Grandmother's birthstone was diamond, April.  Her great-grand children's (3 beautiful girls!!!) birthstones are aquamarine, amethyst and diamond.  

Necklace specifics: 
  • 28" (3) mixed vintage gold chains
  • Wire wrapped gold rutilated quartz - represents Grandmother's birthstone
  • Tiny vintage gold crossRomans 14:8  "For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s."
  •  Antique gold leaf earring from Grandmother's estate
  • 6 Swarovski crystals.  2 birthstone crystals for each child (Aquamarine, Amethyst and Diamond).  The crystals are suspended on a chain trailing down in no particular order to represent the continuation of life.
