My designs and creations begin when I look around at the intricacies of nature. I then incorporate these images from the earth and sea into my handcrafted, one-of-a kind art jewelry. By cutting and polishing most of my stones (not the facet-cut laboratory ones), I try to avoid importing from overseas. Most of my stones are from parts of North America. I use recycled precious metals and avoid blood mined metals and stone as much as possible. My involvement with the ‘ethical metal-smiths’ group enables me to source the most ‘green suppliers available, leaving the lightest footprint possible.
I hope you enjoy my small wearable art.

Hi Karin
I wonder if you woud make a medical id bracelet for me in silver sterling? It needs to have the official symbol and a few of engraved words on the tag. The tag would be about 1 inch long as I have a small wrist; the ones that exist on line are too big for me. thanks for letting me know. my email is sunirome@gmail.com
thanks for responding
