This delightful castle ring has been a year in in design. My fantasy castle ring had to be absolutely fabulous and it had to be strong and durable. I designed this extraordinary fantasy castle ring for my daughter, in honor of her upcoming wedding. I gave the prototype ring to her, at her bridal wedding […]
I had been thinking about adding pearls to one of my coral resin bracelet designs for a while. I wanted a better attachment method than glue, and I wanted a more organic look than the standard round pearls. Since no solution readily came to mind, I put the design on the back burner. On a […]

When creating a new mold, it makes economic sense if the mold can be used for more than one design. The molds I make are expensive to produce, because I use industrial strength silicones. But, they last a long time and can be used over and over, without deterioration. Here is an example of another […]
