I look at the stones or shells, beads, etc. and I know what I want to do with them! All the creations I produce are unique; I never make the same necklace twice, so you will be wearing a one of a kind! Each metal spacer and clasp is coated with a protective coating to prolong luster. My jewelry has been sold at exclusive resorts on the Mayan Riviera with great success. I'm sure you will enjoy them too!
