To showcase my new designs, I like to introduce them being worn by women I find inspiring. Below are my friends who have encouraged me to be brave, dared me to believe in myself, and challenged me out of my comfort zone. I hope they do the same for you!

Stacia’s Daisy

This set was inspired by one of my best friends, Stacia O’laughlin. When I started making jewelry 20 years ago, she was one that encouraged me to make it into a business. Stacia passed away in 2006 to cancer at the age of 45. She was vibrant, passionate, and full of life! Her favorite flower was an orange gerber daisy which is the inspiration of these pieces. I’ve been creating this daisy for many years in her honor. May her spirit always be around...

Everyone has a friend during each stage of life. But only lucky ones have the same friend in all stages of life.

Honoring Friendship

This week’s designs are inspired by one of my best friends, Fran Stephens. Fran and I have known each other since high school. She has always been very supportive of my jewelry business and has stood by me through some trying times. I could not be more grateful for her friendship!

Fran is the Marketing Director for Bray & Company in Grand Junction. She is passionate, intelligent, creative and energetic. When she first saw these pieces, she saw a “F” in the design. Hence, the reason behind titling this jewelry “Friendship.”

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving through you, a joy.”

Carnelian Creations

Nathalie Ames is the inspiration for this set of jewelry. Carnelian is the name of this beautiful red stone, and it represents motivation, endurance, leadership, and courage… all of which are words to describe my friend. Nathalie runs a successful real estate business in Mesa, Colorado. Her passion and dedication are admirable. I am so grateful for our friendship, Nat.
