Mermaid Bracelets
I live to make my mermaid bracelets! This design is my own- meaning I want’t inspired by any jewelry I saw.
I've made a few that are longer than usual. I hope they can be with as a bracelet or an armlet. I think this would be super cool on your upper arm with a tank top.
Powdered Oyster Inlay
You will want some of these ultralight earrings! We use mortar and pestle to grind oyster shells to a power. It's harder than you think!
I mix the powder with resin to create the white element on this design. I really like the effect. What do you think?
New Pendants from the Potomac River
Check out these cool shells from the Potomac River at Washington’s Birthplace in beautiful Westmoreland County! I got really lucky! I went up there last week when the tide was low so there were lots of shells exposed by low tide. Willow and I went out on the beach and it was fun. I nearly froze my hand but it was fun!
New Oyster Pendants
I went to the Birthplace this week to collect shells! I got there at low tide so there were lots to choose from. But it was so cold! Willow and I were only on the beach for about 30 minutes but my hand was frozen! I've been working on them ever since! Lots of dynamic patina! Can't wait for you to see them.

Mermaid Tails
Check out these! I make the tail with wire, resin, and a dash of frustration! You'll love them! And I made some earrings to match!
Fluid Art on Tiny Oysters
I did it again! About a year ago I used some pigments to add some color to some oyster earrings! You all loved them! But I didn't because I messed up most of of the oysters that I tried to add color to. But I've been using another technique with my resin. It finally occurred to me up try it on earrings again! I'm very pleased and I hope you'll love them too!
Oysters Framed in a Bit of Sparkle
I added just a few tiny sparkly beads to the frames created for these tiny oysters. Imagine how fabulous these natural oysters will look on you!
Tiny Bits of Art
Check out these tiny earrings! Each is a unique piece. I've tried to pair them so each earrings compliments its mate. These a little crushed shell in there too!
New Year’s Eve!
Well, I made something for New Year's Eve and it was a big hit! We went to VA Beach for a great party with friends! I forgot to bring my jewelry and the only thing I had was my everyday pieces! I made a statement pieces using freshwater pearls, my silver toned wire and brass wire. So m as my people wanted to know where I got it. I shared cards but I really didn't wear it to do business but it was fun!
Statement Pieces
I know you love to make a statement! Who knew that oysters would do that for you? Check out these statement pieces! I never know how these will turn out. I cut a lot of wire and add beads to my weaving wire- then I start!
Beaded Oyster Cuffs!
Y'all probably know that I love color! I've been adding a lot to my designs this year and I have plans to add even more in 2024. Plans means I bought beads! I love bead shopping! Let me know what you think!
Dainty Cuffs
I know you'll love these cuff bracelets as much as I do! So comfy and easy to wear! Just enough sparkle to be perfect with jeans or office!
Statement Bracelets!
I love making statement pieces! I love this cuff! Put it on and give it a squeeze to customize the fit!

Christmas Events!
We had so much fun at our Christmas events this weekend! The weather was perfect! Just cold enough to be Christmas but no wind or rain! Warsaw’s 3rd Christmas Town was bigger and better than ever! We got to see so many friends and enjoy being set up outside again.
Hanover county celebrated their inaugural “Winter on the Green” in style! Along with vendors and food trucks there were lots of community activities including carriage rides! The tree lighting was beautiful. Hanover Parks and Rec really thought of everything!
Crabs and Oysters!
This is my newest Fine Silver piece! I used my original molds and made a pendant that has a crab on one side and an oyster on the other! Won't tarnish but it will get a lot of attention!
Fine Silver!
I create my own molds using tiny crabs and oysters! I use these molds to build each piece individually, building and sanding until it is ready to be fired. I fire each piece and then tumble it to bring out all of the shine. Since each piece is 99.99% pure silver it won’t tarnish!
Oyster Earrings
Oyster earrings are the most unique statement you can make!!! These earrings are made using shells grown via aquaculture. They grow very fast and the shells are quite thin. This makes for great, lightweight earrings that you will love to wear.
Tiny and Elegant
These tiny oyster shells are the perfect gift! They are the bay in miniature- the perfect size for any person on your gift list. I wrap each shell so it is showcased and protected. It is almost weightless!
Beach Earrings
I make beach inspired earrings using resin and a pre-made jewelry “pan”. These are just $10 a pair. Excellent stocking stuffers!
