HOW THIS JEWELRY IS MADE

The jewelry on this page is crocheted entirely by hand. Each piece is unique and one of a kind. Old fashioned crochet stitches are used with Fine Silver Wire and the smallest of crochet hooks. Fine Silver is used instead of Sterling because it is almost 100% silver, and therefore is softer and less likely to tarnish than Sterling Silver.

After the basic necklace has been crocheted, the semi-precious stone beads and freshwater pearls are added individually, by hand. The clasps are also hand made, some of Sterling and some of Fine Silver, They are all different, designed to fit the needs of each individual necklace.

We use a wide variety of semi-precious stone beads chosen for their shape and color. You will see the beautiful blue of Lapis, pink Rosequartz, red Garnet, turquoise, tourmaline, citrine and others, as well as different colors of Freshwater Pearls. 

Crocheting fine silver wire is a labor intensive, and time consuming task. But it is well worth it . The resulting jewelry looks like Silver lace and makes unique, and elegant necklaces, that are also very light and comfortable to wear.
