Crystal Magpie

I admit it - I refuse custom orders.  I don't like repairing broken jewelry.  I'm fussy and have my own preferences regarding colors.  Will I ever make it rich in my side business?  Probably not.  But, am I doing what I enjoy and having a ball?  You bet ! 

Being very laid back, I don't do well handling the "Sales" side of a small business.  Drop into the shop at Cranberry Hill to see my latest designs.

Yes, we really do all the work ourselves.

Getting ready for the holidays, my workshop is usually busy with my latest ideas under construction:

Falling in lust with the challenge of working in precious metal clays, I've been busy at Aran's Art Studio in Castro Valley making a variety of new products for Spring. 

Focusing on sturdy but lightweight materials, I've been crafting "snow couples" over the last few seasons from a variety of materials.  Button hats, coordinating hat bands and 'scarves', I use a variety of materials to ensure that each couple has its own personality, and that no 2 pairs of earrings are the same. 

Designs vary, so please drop in to see for yourself what's new.
