Standing in Oregon's rugged and soul dazzling high desert, rounded lava stone in my hand, it came to me; combining time immemorial stone with ancient gold leaf would powerfully express the raw, bold elegance, strength and grace reflected by so many women today. A woman who enjoys being noticed as both gracious and grounded, is exactly who my line of jewelry and glass bowl home décor is for.

Lava Glow Jewelry not only is a celebration of nature's raw beauty and spirit but captures unique designs with a connection to the very essence of our planet
using  the transformative power of molten
rock, precious metals, and the vibrant energy of gemstones.

"Champagne and Caviar Necklace" - Black Diamonds and Pearls

Crafted with love from my Oregon studio.

The diamond is the traditional birthstone for April and it is known for its hardness, brilliance, and symbolism of eternal love and strength. The oldest diamonds are believed to be about 3.3 billion years old.
