One of my dear friends (and one of my best sales consultants) gathered a whole bunch of vintage jewelry 

she had collected over the years and asked me to re-make the jewelry into new pieces, but to keep the

vintage flair. I love projects like these because I can truly be creative, but sometimes I do hope that I am

creating pieces that my clients truly love because they have a vision for the sets and I hope to match their

vision. I have already made more than 20 necklace sets, rings, and bracelets for her. I didn't realize that I 

had made that many until I counted them later and I'm still not finished!

Just a note: I love re-making jewelry for my clients, so if you're interested in a new look for your old jewelry,

please feel free ton contact me by e-mail: [email protected]

This year, residents and visitors of San Antonio, TX, celebrate the

123rd year of Fiesta-San Antonio from April 10-27. Fiesta* started in

1891 to honor the heroes from the Battle of Alamo and the Battle

of San Jacinto with over 100 events and showcases depicting all of

the rich cultural history and multi-cultural heritage that make San

Antonio one of my favorite cities. I love the diversity, the people,

the friendliness, the atmosphere, and of course, the FOOD!





The colors in this hand-made 12 coil memory wrap bracelet reflect the colors of Fiesta* which are fuchsia,

turquoise, purple, gold, lime green, and orange. All of the bracelets I make are one-of-a-kind and made with

high quality glass seed beads. The one pictured above is $16. If you are interested in purchasing one, I will

gladly come out to your office to show you the newest styles. MasterCard and Visa are accepted via Square.

Information on Fiesta* events can be found at www.Fiesta-SA.org and they can be found on Facebook and

One of my dearest clients got engaged this year and

wanted to celebrate the news at a party with close

friends and family. She requested an orange and

brown long necklace to match her cute orange dress.

I knew how much she loves matching sets, so I

included a matching memory wire bracelet and some

adorable hoop earrings. This set has murano glass

beads, pearls, ceramic beads, crystal rondelles,

hammered metal spacers and glass beads.

So one of my fashion-forward clients ordered a long "casual-cowgirl" sheik
 
necklace set for a wedding with these colors: cognac and pearls. So I gave her

amber-colored glass murano beads with foil inlay, cognac colored pearls and

faceted glass beads, beige dyed shell beads with an iridescent finish, white,

amber and champagne colored pearls, on a antique gold

chain. I made dangling matching earrings and a added pearls and crystal

rondelles to a bracelet set. Hope she has a great time!
