WELCOME to My Shop.

Finally affordable Gemstone Jewelry!
As a customer in my shop you will know its true that you mean a great deal to me because you Invite The World to See You while Choosing To Wear MY Jewelry! You will feel especially welcome when you arrive and will always go away pleased, I promise you that! My "Art" really does come from my heart and I feel truly blessed with every piece you purchase from me!


Let me begin by telling you why my Jewelry is so "Affordable". I purchase my Gemstones, Crystals and Pearls from all over the world, always searching for the very best prices. I take the time to seek out the finest stones, etc. and seldom purchase them from a "catalog" store, which is the most costly way you can.

Gemstones, crystals and pearls deserve the Limelight! After all, do we shop for a "Silver Necklace" with some gemstones in it? Certainly Not!

I use only very high grade gold and silver plated and pewter metals in some of my designs. Otherwise I use only the gemstones, crystals, pearls and beads that are the "stars" of the piece of jewelry. The reason for using the plating, and not using over-expensive precious metals, is to uphold if I can, my Shop Motto of "Affordable Artisan Jewelry"

I do have the "real" components Available, for those who prefer them, for a higher price.


I have a wish, you see, that everyone; secretaries, teachers, waitresses, and other women who work hard for a living, can and should wear Gemstones, Crystals and Pearls just like the rest of any society's women. (Waiting on tables & bar tending were my former major wage earners for 30 years. I raised and supported a son, by myself, for 18 of them, and I Never could afford Real Gemstone jewelry! )



I use the best Sterling plated wire that is tarnish resistant. If you take care of plated jewelry, it can last a long time. I have plated pieces that were my Grandmother's and they are still beautiful, not faded or peeled.


I do use Gold filled and Sterling Silver beads in my Individual Earring sets. and in a few other pieces of jewelry, now and then. I will tell you in the description that they are used because you might not be able to tell by my prices!


The complimentary earrings with most of my necklaces and bracelets have plated over surgical steel wires so I can afford to give them to you for Free!


I also use ALL genuine gemstones and Swarovski or South China Sea crystals. Some of my Pearls are AAA Glass but most are South China Sea Shell & Freshwater, often Cultured Pearls. If I use do glass Pearls I will always note it in the item's description.


I am now offering an "upgrade" to Hand-Crafted or "store bought" Silver & 14k Gold Filled Ear wires at my cost of $3. per pair. This is an option to replace the plated wires on my earrings that come as a Gift with Most Necklaces & Bracelets for those with allergies or who just prefer the "real" thing.

I Charge for these added precious metal pieces in order to continue giving everyone those Free Earrings This is an option that most of my regular customers choose not to take, allowing the affordable prices they pay for my pieces to add to the thrill of New Jewelry!

A great deal of people have come to me over the years and told me horrible tales about their allergies to base metals, most often nickle, and how they go without wearing any jewelry at all because they simply cannot afford the precious Gold And Silver that is almost always their only option.

Come in and take a peek at the 2 or 3 special gemstones, etc. that are all I use in some of my designs and see how beautiful jewelry can be WITHOUT pricey precious metals!

I am also making, as an option, .925 Sterling Silver or 14K Gold Filled wire clasps for those with allergies, for a small, additional fee.


In order for me to give you my "Affordable" prices, I purchase most of my Gemstones, etc. in an outlet market in South China on the Net, Hardly ever do I buy from a high priced store catalog as that is the most expensive way to buy them! I cannot always get every gemstone at a moment's notice but every stone I do use is perfect!

Thank you for shopping in my shop and I am, as always,
Wishing You the Best Life has to Offer; Joanne
