New Necklace Designs

Well, it's been a while since I've had a chance to add some new items to my website. Here are some of my new jewelry items. First, are a few of my new necklace creations:

Front Toggle Sterling Necklace with Photo Tile


This necklace was created for a customer's special request. It features the popular toggle style clasp in front.

Large Sterling Oval Charm with Freshwater Pearls and Swarovski Crystals


I really have learned a lot from the many craft shows that I've attended and through the many emails that I receive. Many of the comments are looking for charms that will fit more then one child. This sterling charm is much larger then my oval or square charms and perfect for up to 3-4 people although only one is shown in the above photo. The above necklace was a custom order for Stacey who is launching her photography studio in the New York area. Once she launches her website, I'll post her information for those of you out on the East coast.



This large square tile necklace is also well suited for more then one child and measures almost 3/4 inch square. I've made many of these accented with garnets or amethyst and people love this larger square tile which is double-sided, so you can showcase two photos.





My double-dangle necklace still is one of my more popular necklaces and I created this one with a new tile shape - oval for longer, vertical photos.





After showing this necklace at a local craft fair, I've had many, many orders for it. This delicate necklace features swarovski pearls and dangles the charm from the bottom pearl. It's available with garnets or any of my other semi-precious stones as well.

Merging Photos

When you have more then one child, sometimes it's hard to get them all together, happy and smiling. As my photo editing skills increased, I began to merge photos for several people who were not able to get a great photo of their kids together.

The photo below is merged from the two photos below it. This process does not work for all photos. Your photos need to be sharp, well lit and of a high resolution. If you have photos that you'd like me to try to merge, please feel free to contact me.
