Handcrafted sterling silver & crystal gemstone jewelry celebrating the
mystical Goddess in everywoman.
My designs are inspired by the
Celtic knotwork of my ancestors; the
the Egyptian Cat Goddess Bast & my own my feline family;
ancient and modern Wiccan imagery;
Moon magic,
myths & mysteries;
and free spirited women like Isadora Duncan, Stevie Nicks & the
fictional but fascinating Halliwell sisters of
Charmed :-)
And most of the earrings & necklaces in this collection embody the
ecstasy of
dance, music & rhythm. This jewelry is made to move with you!

For me, making jewelry is even more fun than wearing it so this
collection is truly a labor of love. I'm also a Reiki healer
and have noticed that the channeled healing energy of Reiki and
the subtle energies of natural gemstones and sterling silver enhance one another beautifully
so all the jewelry I make and sell are charged with Reiki energy as I make them.
For anyone not familiar with Reiki (pronounced ray-key)
it is, in its simplest translation, universal life energy.
It has also been referred to in other cultures as light, chi, prana, God/Goddess energy,
and spirit. It is the life force that exists in all things.
The practice of Reiki is the art and science of channeling this
universal life energy to promote spiritual, mental, and physical
well-being. Reiki is not associated with any particular religion,
and is equally compatible with Wicca,
eclectic Paganism, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, etc.
As Reiki involves directing the natural flow of universal energy,
it can best be likened to recharging a battery.
When a battery's energy supply is low, it doesn't function well.
By introducing a charge to it, it can once again run on its own.
Reiki works much the same way. If you are suffering from an illness
(physical, mental, or spiritual), your energy supply is lessened,
Reiki works to assist you in bringing your energy level back up to its
natural flow, thereby enhancing your own natural healing powers.
Reiki is an "open ended" energy. As my jewelry is being made, the "channel"
is being opened... think of it like jump starting the battery of a car :-)
But you can decide how the energy is to be directed and used.
Just by wearing the jewelry, Reiki energy will be interacting with your
own personal "vibe" so you don't have to do anything to benefit
from it. But if you want you can direct it specifically towards healing, protection,
love or anything else you would like more of in your life by charging it
through creative visualization.
All this means is holding the jewelry in your hands while focusing on your
intent (becoming more healthy, loved, safe, prosperous, etc).
I'm working on a separate creative visualization page for those who want to
learn more about it.
For all you cat lovers out there, I also host
an online forum The Circle of Healing Purrs
so if you have a feline family member who's in need of healing energy, please
pay us a visit for some free distance healing.
I hope you enjoy browsing through
my first online jewelry collection.
All pieces are handcrafted using only fine sterling silver, moonstones,
amethyst, garnet, black onyx, lapis lazuli, tourquoise &/or rose quartz gemstone beads.
The collection is constantly changing; I make each piece myself and
sell a limited number of each design. Some are personal favorites that
I enjoy making so much, they'll be available for quite a while.
Other pieces may be re-worked as new ideas occur to me or new
materials become available. And some creations will be temporarily or
completely abandoned.
We never know what our personal Muses are going to inspire us to do, do we? :-)
Each necklace & pair of earrings
has its own energy &
personality so of course each piece not only comes in its own gift box, but has its own name :-)
Next to each photo is a brief description followed by the price.
I prefer to be paid online via PayPal but also accept Western Union and
USPS money orders sent through the mail from buyers within the U.S. onlyemail me for details.
I am usually able to ship within 72 hours of payment, weather permitting, and always use USPS priority
mail so if you live in the continental U.S. your package should arrive in a week or less; shipments to
Alaska or Hawaii might take a bit longer.
~~~ I am no longer shipping internationally. ~~~
My apologies to everyone out there in our global village, but dealing with the
bureaucratic complications of multiple postal services has become too expensive,
too cumbersome and lately, too often unreliable.
I ship all packages within the U.S.
fully insured and with delivery confirmation.

Winged Cat Necklace
A cat with wings? Sure! This coiled choker was inspired by my
"cat angels", all those dearly departed feline family members waiting for
me across the rainbow bridge in the summerlands... or perhaps the fleeting fairy cats sometimes seen
out of the corner of one's eye ;-) A sterling silver flying cat dangles from
a flexible memory wire necklace covered with
black onyx beads & ornate
handmade Bali silver beads & spacers. And for extra comfort, the
ends aren't just coiled, but are finished with beads.
Cat plus Celtic inspired bail measures 1.5 inches.
All metal is sterling silver, except
the stainless steel memory wire underneath it all. This necklace will
fit most everyone; it's 17" around.
This design was also inspired by my own
magickal cats;
it's the purrrfect pendant for the witch with a special feline familiar.
A flying cat playfully dangles a crescent moon-cradled pentacle from one paw which in turns
hangs from a large Celtic inspired bail with a raised knotwork design.
This pendant measures 2 3/8" from top to bottom and is made entirely of sterling silver.
The bail opening is 3.4mm x 5.7mm.
Thanks to those who requested earrings to match my Winged Cat Pentacle Pendant for inspiring this new design :-)
Each drop earring is made up of two black onyx beads, a handmade sterling silver bali bead and
a sterling silver crescent moon-cradled pentacle. 1.75" long including earwires.
This Celtic inspired choker features
a sterling silver pentagram
encircled by five connected sickle moons
giving this unique pentacle the
look of interlocking hearts. The pentacle dangles from a flexible
memory wire necklace covered with protective
black onyx beads & ornate
handmade Bali silver beads & the ends are finished with silver beads.
The pentacle measures 3/4 inch in diameter and with the attached Celtic
inspired bail, the drop is about an inch long. All metal is sterling
silver, except the stainless steel memory wire underneath it all.
This necklace will fit most everyone; it's 17" around.
Each of these Celtic inspired earrings features a sterling silver
pentacle design made up
of a center five pointed star star encircled by five hearts dangling from a silver rimmed
genuine moonstone cabochon.
Moonstone is like a old friend - nurturing and comforting as she gently helps to open your
psychic centers. These earrings measure 1 3/8" long including earwires.
Victorian Pentacle Necklacelimited edition - 8 left
This nostalgic choker features a sterling silver pentacle
encircled with intricate filigree dangling from
a flexible memory wire necklace covered with
black onyx beads & ornate
handmade Bali silver beads.
As with all my collars, the
ends aren't just coiled, but are finished with beads.
The pentacle measures 1 inch in diameter and with the Celtic inspired
bail, the drop is a shade under 1.5 inches.
All metal is sterling silver, except
the stainless steel memory wire underneath it all. It measures 16.5" inches around. Available in black onyx only; the rose quartz version has sold out.
These chandelier hoops were inspired by the waxing and waning of the
Moon and the mysterious
Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters. And you could also say they were
inspired by Stevie Nicks as I came up with the design while listening to her singing
Sisters of the Moon :-) They’re made entirely of sterling silver with 7 crescent
moons dangling from each earring. The earrings are 1.75" long and the hoops measure 1 1/8" in
diameter.
Each of these earrings features natural
lapis lazuli beads separated by an ornate Bali bead and a silver ankh charm.
As always, all metal parts are sterling silver.
These earrings are 2 inches long including earwires and come in a gift box.
Sacred Cat Earrings Lapis and turqouise have SOLD OUT

New ~ the Sacred Cat Earrings in Black Onyx for $30
Egyptian Pentacle Pendant
A crescent moon crowns this Horns of Isis style pentacle and an Ankh dangles below it.
Some consider Isis as mother to Bast as well as Horus;
She is surely one of the most honored aspects of universal Goddess energy.
The Ankh has symbolized life, fertility, immortality, completion and the union
of male and female for thousands of years. This is a potent magickal combination :-)
All components are sterling silver. It measures 1 1/2" from top to bottom including a small bail that would best fit a lightweight chain or
leather, silk or cotton cord.
These earrings celebrate the Moon Goddess with sterling silver Lunar High Priestess style
dangling
from silver-rimmed rainbow moonstone cabochons. They're 1 1/4 inches long not including the earwires.

Healing Touch Earrings
These chandelier earrings were designed for a fellow Reiki healer & I
think they
would make a perfect gift for anyone in the healing arts - from those
who do spiritual laying on of hands to nurses, doctors & massage therapists...
or anyone who would like a little more serenity in her life. These earrings are also
popular with bellydancers, as they move beautifully when worn.
These gemstones merge the soothing energies of
amethyst with the soft,
warm loving energies of
rose quartz
Three beaded dangles
hang from sterling silver Celtic love knots
and the center drops end in delicate sterling
spiral centered
healing hands charms inspired by the ancient Hamsa symbol and a pattern of handmade SS Indian bali spacers
form a subtle equal-armed cross design.
They're 1 3/4" long plus earwires.

There are many theories about crystal healing and why it works but
I believe that Magic Happens when the
subtle energy of the gemstone is aroused by creative focus
in the mind, heart & spirit of the
person wearing it.
Melody, author and teacher who has led crystal healing workshops
all over the world, has written extensively & eloquently about these gifts
of mother earth in her book
Love Is In The Earth A Kaleidoscope Of Crystals
I've also learned much from Scott Cunningham's
Crystal, Gem & Metal Magic so I've also included some quotes from
these excellent books on the Crystal Healing page.
