Summer Navy

This lovely coquettish navy rose is the perfect compliment. It has a brooch pin back and can be attached to almost anything, tops, dresses, skirts, purses and belts to name a few. I also design some navy and blue summer pieces, they work with the pale shades of summer, and are perfectly paired with those crisp whites!


Summer Flowers

It a garden of flowers over at Joliette, all the lovely shades of summer in beautiful necklace, brooches and accessories! Custom colors are also available, especially convenient for bridal parties. Here's a little selection of my newest works. I hand dye the silk myself, with an eco-friendly, no harsh chemical process, the fabrics are mostly a shimmery soft silk, I also use some fine linens and other found elegant fabrics. The beading process is also an added luxury as I go above and beyond to make these real treasures, with a variety of sparkly seed beads, in silver and gold, pearls and crystals as well. Hope you enjoy!

Summer Elegance

This unique and truly beautiful linen flower necklace has a sculptural elegance. Made with a fine black linen fabric it is hand sewn and lightly beaded with shiny faceted seed beads in the center for added shimmer and luxury. It's a lovely wearable art piece that can be taken from daytime elegance to nighttime romance.


Summer Flower

Icelandic poppies can be found in this amazing ice blue color, growing on the mountain sides among the earthy background. I've tried to capture this color combination in this lovely flower statement necklace with  an ice blue silk fabric flower and the smoky quartz as the earthy compliment.
