Featured on this page are more of my pieces made with
Griffin Silk Corde, freshwater pearls, and Swarovski crystal.
There will also be a collection of popular earring styles.
Thank you for your patience, as I am still adding photos.

Zahira: Arabic name meaning "shining".
One of the simplest pieces I make again and
again, it comes in the full colour range of teardrop
crystals i use. It can also be made on any of the
silk colours, and with either gold or silver findings.
The average size that I make is 16", and more
are sold at this length than any other length. But I
can make any length, as it is just a long strand of
silk with the addition of the finest crystal beads in
the world......................................................$20
Zahrah: a very close cousin of Zahira, the
name means "blooming flower." Can also
be made with all the possible colour
combinations, this one just has the crystal
and some pearls spaced all the way around
the strand of silk. Such a close variant of
Zahira, this one does very well, also.
Please specify length.............................$30
Day & Night..................................$30 ea.
Silk corde with crystals spaced all the way
around. A large teardrop and a small
teardrop at the ends, and all you need to
do is loop it in the front. The easiest lariat
in the world. Stays on just fine, unless you
climb trees! I usually make this at 18",
but specify length when ordering. Also
available in all the colours of crystal and
silk I have listed on page one.
Summer & Winter.........................$40 ea.
This style is a "fixed" lariat, a foolproof way
to wear a necklace that comes together
and dangles in the front. Clasped in the
back, you don't have to adjust the front
pieces, they will always look marvelous.
Almost all pearls, but a little crystal touch
by the large pearls in the front. This piece
is usually sold at a 16" length because it
dangles so long in the front, but can be
made longer to suit your taste.
Ching Shih....................................................$40 ea.
This piece i named for a famous female pirate, as
the idea for the necklace came to me while watching
a Pirates of the Caribbean movie a couple of years
ago. It can be made with all the variants in colours,
but the most popular seems to be the original, the
tan silk with white pearls. The pearls are from China,
as was this notorious woman of the sea!
Ching Shih terrorized the China Sea in the early 19th
century. A brilliant female pirate, she commanded 1800
ships and about 80,000 pirates.
Lexia (L): The first frame shows 3 necklaces.
Each has white pearls, but each has a different
crystal colour.
Clarysa (C): The second necklace is a style I
have made for many years. This one shows warm
ivory pearls on black silk.
Nicole (R): The third piece illustrates combining
small crystals on each side of a pearl, and
spacing them out around the silk for an interesting
balance of weight.
These necklaces can be made in all the crystal
colours, all the pearl colours, and all the silk
colours, and with gold or silver findings.......$25 ea.
The necklace on the left is called Long. I have been
making this style for years. It is a mix of pearls and
crystals, has a toggle clasp, and is approximately 36" in
length. Use your imagination and mix warm pearls and cool
crystal, or the opposite, or anything else you can imagine.
The necklace on the right is also "long", so we will call it
Long 2. It is a hybrid, because it is made with just pearls.
Same as the original Long, it comes in all the pearl and silk
colours, and a gold or silver toggle...........................$50 ea.
I will be getting more photos of
my earrings up soon. These
are just a couple of unique
ideas with crystal or pearls and
sterling silver chain.
The crystal pair is................$25
The pearl triple-tier is..........$25
