Got 100?





In celebration of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.'s 100th birthday, I designed these Centennial bracelets. The idea came to mind while attending the Centennial Boule this past July in Washington, DC. The bracelets consists of gorgeous freshwater pearls, swarovski crystals, and a sterling silver 100 charm. The concept has been well received by my Sorors. I just completed the 6 (Sold) shown above, with a little bit of help from my 2 year old nephew, Kaleb. Interested in purchasing one for your favorite AKA? Contact me for ordering details! Peace!

Tough Love Necklace



I recently acquired a love for brass! The mix of metals (brass and sterling) really make this handmade lampwork heart pendant POP! I purchased this lampwork pendant from glass artisan Kelly Wild, you can find her on eBay under the seller ID: wildaudrey. She is truly a master at her craft. I starred at the heart for a long time before I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Extra beads would only take away from the true beauty of the pendant. The heart is amazing! KICK BRASS!

Something for your...Hair






I make jewels for your wrist, ears, neck, and fingers. Now let's make something for your hair. I found the sweetest dichroic/fused glass cab beads at a recent bead show. I attached them to sweet bobby pins and ... Bling Bobby Pins were born! I'm pleased with the way they turned out. Take a look and judge for yourself.
