We had a great time at Open Studios this year, and thanks to Kiana Hayden Photography here are a few stunning pictures of the event.

I'll exhibit my new jewelry pieces at the Peninsula French Fair on Saturday, March 23rd  from 10am to 6pm at the Lucie Stern Community Center 1305 Middlefield in Palo Alto, Ca.
I'll also be part of the fashion show. For more information go to: http://www.frenchfair.org/

New Vintage Ring Collection

I wanted to add rings to my jewelry collection for a long time, but I could not find ring bases that I liked to use with the vintage pieces I have collected. At last I found silver plated or gold plated hammered wide ring band that are perfect for the bold rings I wanted to create.
Those are so much fun to wear and make a statement with any outfit!

I love those two, they are so sparkly!
I kept one for myself, guess which one!



Just listed some on my website! More to come soon.

LURE- Gallo-Roman Artifact & Turquoise Necklace

I found this late Gallo-Roman, early Medieval period artifact in Provence this summer.
It is made of bronze and still keeps some of the earth it was buried in for centuries on its surface.
I used it as a pendant with big chunks of turquoise, that have a mix of green and turquoise color, and ornate vermeil beads. It is finished with smaller Chinese turquoise rondelles and a beautiful vermeil square toggle clasp. Truly a one of a kind necklace!

I just finished it and I will have it with me at my next show on September 7th: "3 French Artists @ Gitane"
344 State Street Los Altos, Ca   4 to 9 pm 

The Colors of Summer: Moss on Snow at Circle & Square

"Moss on Snow" necklace: vintage jade pendant with a delicately carved dragon, antique sterling silver Chinese dragon beads and deep green maw sit sit (variety of jade) beads.
You can find this necklace and more from my collection at Circle & Square in San Francisco
