Designer jewelry is often easy to spot by its trademark “look” or “signature design.” I’m happy to say that hasn’t happened to me. I don’t want to get placed in a certain design category. I like to explore and have fun when I create a custom piece of jewelry. When I am looking at a…

A variety of the mineral corundum,…
