About the Jewelry...

The jewelry is organized in Collections, which are named after the artist's favorite literary and theatrical heroines. With the exception of the Non-Heroine Collections (Vintage Jewelry, Miscellaneous Inspired Designs, and Other Jewelry Accessories), each Collection has a basic design that characterizes it. Although there are some basics to the design, the individual pieces are still custom. Various colors and materials make each piece unique. Some jewelry elements are limited edition (no longer available to make new custom pieces), but similar elements may be found and used.

Pricing on individual items depends on several factors, including materials used, design, and time required to make each piece of jewelry.

Special Orders for custom jewelry will be accepted. Please provide basic information, such as desired length, colors to be used, metal preference (if applicable), and price point. If ordering a piece of jewelry to compliment a specific outfit or to wear as a game day accent, please inform the artist. Please note some materials may have to be ordered and/or may be on back-order from the artist's suppliers, which will affect the time it takes to make your custom piece of jewelry.

Most necklaces are approximately 16" (some are closer to 17"). A few styles require that they are shorter or longer than this average. Mostly toggle clasps are used, although some necklaces have barrel or other styles of clasps. Beads are various in nature and may include gemstones, pearls, glass, acrylic, Swarovski Crystals, or others.

Ilsa Collection

The Ilsa Collection... Named for the romantic, unforgettable Heroine, Ilsa Lund, "Casablanca."

The Ilsa Collection has large pieces with smaller accents strung on wire and woven through chain. This pattern is repeated at least 3-5 times, depending on the necklace. Occasionally, smaller pieces are the "center" pieces of the bead groupings, in order to lighten the look of the necklace, and alternating with the larger center piece groupings. (Both styles are pictured below.)

Materials vary, although cut glass or acrylic is often used as the main center pieces. Wire and chain are both used.
