The Jewel of the Lotus

Welcome! This shop expresses my love of semiprecious gemstones and all things that sparkle. For jewelry, I work primarily with Sterling Silver, Thai Hill Tribe Silver, or Fine Silver. Occasionally, I use Copper or base metals in designs when they work better. I have recently added gold-filled, gold vermiel, and some high-quality vintage gold-plated items to my collection. I always list the components of a given piece so you know exactly what you're getting.

I believe that all stones have healing energy; my designs incorporate intentions for the pieces in the stones used. Various combinations lead to different effects. If you are looking for something in particular, I am more than happy to help you find the right stones for the intention you're working toward. I would love to work with you on custom projects!

I love creating with my custom clients. You bring your vision or ideas and I will work with you to achieve your goal! You might think of my handmade pieces as examples of what I can make for you if you want something similar but with different stones or other variations. Custom work takes time, so we will discuss processing time when talking through your project. I may need to source raw materials, or I might already have everything I need! You will not be billed for custom work until you approve of the images of the finished product. Custom orders are not returnable or refundable.

I'm a creator. I draw, grow plants (over 200!), and enjoy interior design and decorating... But my passion is the shop where I create jewelry and suncatchers. From my shop, I have beautiful views of the mountains surrounding Tucson. Wildlife strolls or wings by my windows regularly. Music plays or Monsoon Storms provide their own soundtrack as I dream up and create my pieces. I am blessed to have the space needed to work, the tools and support items required, and the encouragement of my family. I am dedicated to beauty and quality, and I will not sacrifice one for the other as, to my mind, they go hand in hand.

I value the environment and use recycled, recyclable, and/or reusable items in my packaging and shipping materials. From sturdy jewelry boxes to silk zipper pouches, I package each order with care and gifting in mind. Please contact me with any special requests or to add a gift message to your order.

I usually respond to messages within a few hours, but you'll absolutely hear back within 48 hours.
