My jewelry is a visual combination of non precious metals forged and semiprecious beads. Original designs are realized by using a variety of different gauges of aluminum wire to form /hammer, drill and use cold connections to achieve my earring shapes. My design concepts use the circle and spirals as design inspirations. The aluminum earrings, bracelets and pendants are embellished and finished with juxtaposed (purchased) semiprecious beads, pearls and crystals beads or stones. Purchased Wires, clasps are used to finish each handmade piece. Beads, pearls and crystals purchased through small stores visited throughout my travels.
