Custom Silver Giraffe Charm

Giraffe silhouette Charm

Business coach and motivational speaker, Ilene Meckley uses the giraffe symbol to represent her business because giraffes have the biggest heart in the animal kingdom and she believes everyone should be "heart" at work not "hard" at work.

I custom designed and hand sculpted these charms which she sells as key rings and stick pins.
They are available in silver or gold and can be purchased on her website.

Custom Wedding Ring Design

This is a personal piece that has special meaning to me.
It's my wedding ring and my design reminds me of a military medal.

I actually chose a mens ring form for the base because I knew I wanted something big and bold.
The stones fit perfectly, set down flush with the open edge.
The tapered bottom makes it incredibly comfortable to wear.

A Salvaged Earring Charm

New Life...

Rescued and recreated, this hand made earring charm found new life as a pendant.

I was drawn to the distressed metallic leaf finish and the clean lines.




I wrapped it with wire and chose to suspended it from a periwinkle silk cord...attached with a decorative, sterling silver bail.

Columbian Gold "Butterflies"

On a recent trip which included a day stop in Cartagena, Colombia, we had the unexpected pleasure of touring the Museo de Oroa or Gold Museum in the "old city".

The small rooms were filled with valuable pre-Colombian gold artifacts and some of the oldest ceramics in the Americas.

This particular exhibit caught my eye...not only for the the actual jewelry but also for the display design. They reminded me of floating butterflies!
