Pearls are one of the most beloved gems, used for millennia in jewelry and decoration, and are the only gems grown inside a living organism. The first recorded mention of pearls is 7,500 years old. They are one of a few organic gemstones, including ivory, amber, and coral.
Keshi pearls are free-form, non-nucleated pearls, often the by-product of pearl cultivation and, as a result, they are solid nacre and can have incredible luster.
Pearls are one of the birthstones of June, along with color-changing alexandrite, and moonstone. It is also the 3rd and 30th wedding anniversary gem.

Meet the Maker
I am the mother of three daughters. I also have four grandchildren, 2 boys and 2 girls. We all live here & see each other nearly everyday. I am very blessed.
I have been an artist all my life. I have painted in watercolor for over 40 yrs. I have been a paper maker for 16 yrs. Look in my shop sections for Fine Art and Handmade Paper. I have been a jewelry artist for 12 yrs.
I take my work seriously. I use the best materials and am proud of my creations. I’m in love with color change gemstones and feature them as often as I can. I also love American Gemstones and do some rock hounding myself.
