Several turquoise necklaces, most American mined, some Mexican, all hand cut. I like using gem stones found USA, Canada , or Mexico. I have used imports from south seas and Europe. Never below b quality. Most my necklaces are one of a kind never repeated exactly the same. It's definitely what I would wear. I value my mom's input these days as we almost lost her so everything she says I listen. When I can make out what the hell she's saying since her stroke. We kid and joke plenty,laughter is very healing!

Contemporary Jewelry Handmade in Northern California from the Highest Quality Natural MaterialsI like using strong beading wire, mixed metals, leather, I love turquoise, shells, various gemstones, crystals, bone, ceramic, acrylic beads and good strong crimp beads are a must.There are so many product options out there.I decided to limit my products to mostly North American regions and Mexico. I remember when I first started I purchased some Chinese turquoise and wasn’t too pleased. Then I learned a few of my vendors were selling me Chinese stuff too. There are some quality gemstones mined in China. However knowing the distance traveled made me reconsider and stay within our continent. It’s a big one anyway. Jewelry making helps me relax, I find it therapeutic. My back and fingers get sore but it’s all worth it when I see someone wearing something I’ve made. Darn right Joyous!
