I realize that there are some of you who have been checking out this site prior to its official launch date, November 1. On the merchandise info page, I state that I would post every Monday. Alas, that wasn't the case. Please bear with me, I will begin posting every Monday beginning this week.

From the sea, this golden delight is made up of gold-filled components, pearls, and coral. The pearls come from Lake Biwa in Japan, where, from what I've been told, does not bear oyster-yielding pearls anymore. The coral is all-natural (no dye) from the Caribbean.

For the Holidays, Treat Yourself!

This elegant choker set is a creation that I designed for a client, to go with a dress she wore at her daughter's wedding. Yes, it has been sold. I created it using green apple chalcedony pear drops, Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver.

The holidays are upon us. That means plenty of parties...want something to go with that special outfit? Inspiration for the design comes from your vision, your outfit, and most importantly, your personality.

Interested in your own one-of-a-kind creation??? Contact me!

Essential Creations in Store!!!

Yes, it's true. You can find my line at Bump Maternity, in Los Gatos, CA. Bump Fashion can be found on 318 N. Santa Cruz Ave, in Los Gatos.

Like the stuff on the right??? The necklaces on the right were designed specifically for Bump. I put carnelian, a stone with healing powers that keep the heart strong, near to the heart of an expecting mom's womb, and (in another design) near to mom's heart.

Lisa Szabo, owner of Bump Maternity, is also carrying several bracelets and other earrings.

If you have any questions about the designs, wholesale, or commissioned work, please contact me.

This one is simply sexy! It is triple-stranded sterling silver chain of layer lengths. Looks sassy with short hair and luxurious when wearing long hair up to show off the carved wood beads that separate the three silver chains and sterling silver Bali hook-and-eye clasp.
