Jewelry Creations
Specializing in unique custom jewelry, I only use the finest
in Artisan Lampwork, Vintage Glass, Semi-Precious Stones,
Swarovski Austrian Crystal, Gemstones, Sterling Silver and
any other quality item that catches my eye. Being very particular
about the quality of components used in my designs, I only
chose the finest available. I'm continually searching for
unique elements to keep my designs different and one-of-a-kind!
My goal is to always design superior wearable art that cannot
be found at your local mall.
A little background about me... After spending most of my life
in the bead capital of the United States (Seattle, Washington)
I now live in Virginia Beach, Virginia with my wonderful husband
Karl and our 3 beautiful daughters. We also have 1 cat
an Australian cattle dog, a French Bulldog and a Norwich Terrier. Yes, like many of you out
there, I am a beadaholic and after years of buying the little
jewels for myself I needed to start selling my designs to support
my habit!
Artisan Lampwork Creations
In our custom designed studio, we specialize in creating unique
one of a kind individual focal pieces and designer sets using
Effettre (Moretti/Murano), Lauscha, Bullseye, and various 1st quality Borosilicate and Corning Pyrex glass composites. Currently we use Betheham
(Oxygen/Propane) torches to create our magical glass art and
use two AIM digitally controlled kilns to properly anneal each
and every creation one-by-one. We never batch anneal our
pieces, and each individual creation goes straight to the soaker
at 970-1150 degrees (F) before undergoing a strict four stage
annealing process before finally reaching room temperature.
Love and care goes into each and every creation before reaching
final delivery to you...our valued customers!
Like many parents, we have a busy life and wear many "hats"
but wouldn't change a thing! I am lucky to stay home to raise
our daughters and let my creativity flow into my passion ~ creating
unique & beautiful lampwork and jewelry designs that I offer
for your viewing pleasure. Karl works a regular
job in the information systems field and creates wonderful borosilicate glass
magic in his spare time creating lampwork beads, marbles and glass
sculptues. Enjoy browsing our eBay store and our website.
Thanks for stopping by!
