FAMILY


It seems Cooper has a knack for danger....his latest sport is diving from the diving board at the pool and just yesterday (while at our friend's, the Ducks) he dove off the board just off the side and tried to grab the lip of the pool. Of course, he caught it with his chin, instead. Everything seemed fine until I noticed the blood on his chest...the cut was just under the chin and was wide open.....resembling a second mini-mouth! I ended up taping his upper chin down to his neck to clamp it closed until we could arrive to get it stitched.

Farm Kids

Cooper's ability to ride without training wheels for months already (at just 3 1/2 yrs old!) is very entertaining to watch...but of course, I am a nervous wreck watching him speed around endlessly. But it's a joy that we can all hop on our bikes together to the park & pool now....without so much planning, slow training wheels or toddler seats,etc involved! And no gasoline...hooray!

JEWELRY from my bench





Diamonds...bezel set center with pave' set around, in white gold. Earrings are .75ct tw.
The pendant is .65ct tw. I can also set these with the pendant center diamond being alittle smaller (.25ct, like in the earrings) Many options available! Questions or a quote?....I will custom make something for you, far below retail.










This set was my favorite project last summer (I am partial to emerald cuts!) With the help of my trusted diamond cutter, I selected this diamond for my client, set it all in platinum...along with all the other little beauties in the shank.
Last fall, I had a great time making the wedding band to match.....and it's also platinum, with princess cuts. I just love all the fancy details and beading/filigree in the mounting & the diamonds are top notch. This couple was a delight to work with...I love working with all my wedding jewelry clients, the joy is contagious!



























This ring features a knife-edge split shank and channel set Citrine. ..very contemporary.
















This unique mounting features many diamonds, both channel and pave set and a vivid emerald in the center.
