Designs by Heinz, W, MN

Designs by Heinz specializes in unique stone pendants of exceptional variety, intense color and superior quality.  Pendants such as vibrant jaspers or agates are strung on silk 'noodle' cord that is artistically matched to stone colors.  They also may be strung on leather or other types of cords.  Necklaces, earrings and bracelets are also available.  Designs are classic, to appeal to a wide range of styles and tastes.  Other stones such as Amazonite, Aquamarine, Carnelian may be used, accented by sterling silver, silver-plate, copper, bronze wire wrap, or sterling, pewter, glass or crystal, lampwork or glass beads.  

Stones are not guaranteed against breakage.  Items can be returned for a full refund or exchanged for another item at any time for any reason as long as they are in original condition.   That's about the best guarantee in the business. 

I grew up with folks who appreciated rocks.  My uncle was a geologist working in the turquoise and copper mines in Arizona, my mother collected a variety of rock samples, and my sister has a degree in geology as does her husband.  Coming to appreciate the "Art in Stones" at retirement, I began collecting colorful stone pendants.  The joke is that I became so compulsive about collecting stones that I had to start sharing them.  Designs by Heinz grew out of this evolution.
