Child's Pearl and Sterling Necklace

This 13-15" necklace is made with cultured pearls, reclaimed vintage "rice krispie" pearls, and a sterling silver replica of an antique rosary centerpiece. The centerpiece depicts the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, is 5/8" long, and is also reversible. The pins, clasp, and all other findings are stainless steel for tarnish resistance and durability.

Sterling Chalice Necklace with Russian Seraphinite Beads

This 16-18" necklace features a large sterling silver recast of an antique French first communion souvenir medal AND some truly exquisite green Russian seraphinite beads. Seraphinite is mined in a limited area of Siberia, and is one of the most expensive semiprecious stones I've worked with so far. The pictures in no way do them justice. The smaller accent beads, chain, and all other findings are made of stainless steel for added durability and tarnish resistance. The set includes a matching pair of earrings.

Black Labradorite Sacred Heart

This 17-18" necklace is made with black labradorite, one of my new favorite semiprecious gemstones. It isn't actually black at all, but rather a sophisticated marbled gray with an occasional iridescent flash known as "labradorescence." The Sacred Heart centerpiece is sterling silver, featuring Our Lady of Victory on the reverse. All the beads are strung on stainless steel pins with a stainless steel clasp to add durability and prevent tarnishing. Included in the set are two pairs of matching stainless steel earrings with rubber earnuts.

Large Hematite Crucifix

This exquisite 2" crucifix is a sterling silver reproduction of an antique piece. To compliment its size, I paired it with large hematite beads (6-8mm) on stainless steel chain with a stainless steel clasp. All jumprings and pins are also stainless steel. The necklace is 16.5-17.5" long, and comes with matching stainless steel earrings. Rubber earnuts are included.

Petite Pearl Miraculous Medal

This petite 15-16" necklace is made with a 0.5" sterling silver rosary centerpiece, cultured freshwater rice pearls and vintage "Rice Krispie" pearls repurposed from an older necklace. "Rice Krispie" pearls were common in the 1970s and 80s. The set includes a matching 6-7" bracelet. All findings are stainless steel with the exception of the platinum-plated clasps.

Black Obsidian Sacred Heart

This 16-17" necklace features a sterling silver reproduction of an antique Sacred Heart medal hung on a stainless steel chain with natural black obsidian beads and chips. The set includes matching stainless steel earrings. Obsidian, which is natural volcanic glass, is deceptively lightweight, making the earrings quite comfortable to wear.

Ave Maria Black Line Agate

This is a long necklace, 25.5", made of semiprecious black line agate beads and pendant, stainless steel findings, and a large sterling silver antique replica Ave Maria monogram medal. Matching earrings with rubber ear nuts included.

Hematite and Gunmetal St. Joan of Arc with Banner

This was a recent piece commissioned as a confirmation gift.  It features hematite and gunmetal-plated beads, stainless steel pins and findings, and sterling silver replicas of antique medals.

White Pearl Miraculous Medal

This was a commission I recently completed using white cultured pearls, stainless steel pins, and a sterling silver Miraculous Medal rosary centerpiece.  The extension chain provides added adjustability.

White Pearl Lorraine Cross

This child-sized necklace is 13.25" long, made with white cultured pearls and stainless steel findings.  The Lorraine cross with thistles, commonly associated with St. Joan of Arc, is a sterling silver replica of an antique piece.  The set includes matching earrings, also stainless steel, and a 5.5" bracelet with a platinum-plated extension chain.

Additional extension chains could be added for adults who appreciate petite jewelry.

Hematite and Gunmetal Seven Sorrows

Hematite is one of my favorite mediums.  This is a double-strand necklace of 6mm hematite beads and 4mm gunmetal-plated beads strung on 24 gauge stainless steel wire with a platinum-plated spring clasp.  The shortest strand is 15" long.  The centerpiece is a sterling silver replica of an antique rosary centerpiece.  The reverse of the medal features the Sacred Heart.  The set includes a 7" bracelet and matching earrings on stainless steel half-ball studs.

White Pearl Blessed Mother

This piece was a special commission, a wrap-around necklace of cultured pearls and a sterling silver centerpiece featuring an image of Our Lady on a blooming lily.  The pins and all other findings are stainless steel.  

Black Glass Seven Sorrows

This is a 32" remake of the double-wrap Seven Sorrows necklace I made for myself out of 6mm and 4mm black traditional Czech glass beads, which are still made in small factories in the Czech Republic.  The centerpiece is a sterling silver replica of an antique medal, and the beads are strung on stainless steel wire.

Obsidian Seven Sorrows

Here's a slightly gothic piece.  A 30" wrap-around necklace made of 3mm and 6mm natural black obsidian and 4mm natural silk stone built around a sterling silver replica of an antique rosary centerpiece depicting the Seven Sorrows of the Immaculate Heart.  The back of the medal depicts the Sacred Heart.  An extension chain adds 3" of adjustability.  The matching bracelet is 6.5", but can extend to 8.25".  All findings are stainless steel except for the clasps and extension chains, which are platinum-plated.
