About this Product
Check out my new stunning handmade silver and tanzanite earrings, adorned with raw tanzanite gemstones and delicately pinned with a silver ball! Crafted in my northern Michigan studio, these earrings showcase the perfect combination of elegance and raw beauty. Each earring features a unique raw tanzanite stone that shows off natural varying hues of blue-ish purple, making them a truly one-of-a-kind piece. The melted sterling silver ball perfectly complements the raw gemstone, creating a timeless yet contemporary design.
My pinned tanzanite studs are made with Argentium (tarnish resistant) silver and backed with large luxury sterling silver friction fit backs. I put notches near the ends of the posts, and I round the tips to make them super comfortable. Because of how these are made, it's normal if the stones move a bit on their settings.
**TANZANITE is a mesmerizing gemstone, embodying the essence of transformation and evolution. Its vivid blue-violet hue represents the fusion of sky and earth, symbolizing the infinite possibilities of growth and change. With every glimmer of light, Tanzanite ignites the imagination and inspires the wearer to reach for new heights. It is a stone of creativity, encouraging one to tap into their innermost desires and bring them to life. Tanzanite is a reminder that even the most stunning transformations start with a single spark, and it encourages us to embrace the unknown with wonder and awe.
SIZE : VARIES - about 1/4 - 3/8" -- as these are raw gemstones, size will vary a bit!

My focus is on making high-quality, stunning heirloom jewelry for everyone. I'm incredibly picky about my stones (some of which I form/polish myself), and executing my jewelry making techniques in such a way that my customers describe my jewelry as "simply gorgeous" and "made to last". I'm not interested in the quickest way to make a piece, but instead, the BEST way to make a piece. My jewelry is carefully handmade one piece at a time in my northern Michigan studio. Please allow for slight variations in colors, shape, stone size, etc. Hand-made is beautiful because it is never "perfect"! I make a living with my craft and have been making jewelry for over 20 years. My jewelry has been featured in numerous national catalogs and shops across the country, and is included in collections throughout the world.

Meet the Maker
I create jewelry with elements that bring me joy and a sense of peacefulness : special words and quotes that I've collected over the years, favorite talismans, beautiful stones, beach glass, pearls, and mixed metals. Each piece is handmade with careful attention to quality, using at least one of a variety of metal-smithing techniques including soldering, acid-etching, casting, forging, riveting, stamping, and wire-wrapping.
I live and work in the north woods with my husband, our daughter, two Golden Retrievers, and an Australian cattle dog. My work is sold in fine galleries and shops throughout the country and has been featured in national catalogs.
My hope is that my jewelry will remind the wearer of special times in their past, and add to the beauty of their present life...a symbol of life's most precious moments. If I can brighten your day with a piece of my jewelry, I've reached my goal!
