Since 1991, I've been designing and creating one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.  I absolutely love doing it and I think that joy shows in my work.  A life-long collector and former bricks and mortar antique shop owner, I'm a magpie of sorts.  I'm always on the lookout for unusual beads or vintage pendants I can incorporate into my designs.  Having lived in a rural setting for many years, I especially enjoy working with materials from the natural world.  And, yes, I do believe in the healing and life enhancing properties of gemstone.  I strive to purchase high quality gems and findings, yet keep my work affordable.  I do ask you to remember that gemstones are natural and each is unique in shape, clarity, and cut.

Bittersweet Ridge designs have been sold through wholesale accounts to shop and galleries throughout the world, as well as to private clients.  Each piece is unique and handmade the old fashioned way... one by one with joy.

A few words from our clients~

I gave the necklace to my wife Sunday morning.  I couldn't wait until our anniversary.  Man, did she love it!  Thanks again for a special gift.  ~ DF

I got your  package with the bird earrings yesterday and I very much wanted to take the time to thank you for putting them in the beautiful boxes.  It often seems these days as though the personal touch has gone out of any kind of shopping, but you prove to certain that it has not.  Again, thank you SO much.  You made my day.

Thank you for the quick shipment of my new necklace.  I appreciate the care you put into the shipping and the jewelry box.  I love the necklace.  Good quality and it looks great.  I am looking forward to my next purchase.  ~  C

I am so thrilled to have won the bid.  I am looking forward to the necklace and am certain everything will be great as before.  The previous piece I bought has received so many compliments and I know I will love this one as well.  I am eager to see what you will have in the future on ebay.  Thanks again,  BG

Sue, I love the bracelet so much that I made an offer on the matching earrings!  The flower bracelet is a work of art and so beautiful.  The matching earrings are perfect.  Thank you SO much!  I feel so special when I'm opening up the individual boxes that you send.  DR

I've always loved your jewelry (one of your pieces was one of my first ebay purchases) but I must tell you - your style, imagination and everything else was always wonderful but, somehow, you're in a whole new dimension now.  No joke, I see very expensive jewelry in these Beverly Hills stores for thousands that aren't nearly as nice.  Somehow, I feel like I'm getting away with something when I buy from you.  JH
