Sterling Silver and Turquoise Ring
Sterling Silver and Blue Moonstone Cuttlebone Pendant
Embrace the outdoors
What do you see? I see a tranquil outdoor mountain range with a shimmering blue lake nestled below…
Check out this gorgeous blue moonstone set in a sterling silver pendant. The texture of the cuttlebone casting really frames the stone well.

Handblown Glass Bead Sailboat Earrings
The curve of the silver dangle evokes the impression of a sailboat heeled over in the wind
Look closely at these handblown glass beads hovering beside long sterling silver dangles. Do they remind you of sailboats in motion?
Inquire for price.
Want to match the color of your favorite Sail Racing Team? The beauty of knowing a custom jeweler is that I can go to the artist who makes these glass beads and order them in any color for you.
Copper and Silver Oak Leaf Earrings
Did you know that oak trees are able to survive severe burning?
I added a silver vein to accentuate the shape of these heat-treated hand shaped copper leaves. Becoming even more beautiful after meeting the flame, these heat stressed copper oak leaves symbolize endurance and healing. Priced at $45.
Student Testimonials – Chris and Gail
As you may know, Kimberly teaches Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Jewelry Fabrication courses the Creative Arts Group in Sierra Madre, CA. Her classes are one night a week for 10 week sessions all throughout the year. For more information on joining a class, please visit the Creative Arts Group website here.
Gail, a two year long student of Kimberly’s gave a very nice review of the class, and showcased one of her projects:
Our last project was a pendant and stone setting. It was challenging because we did prong setting for the first time with multiple stones of different sizes. We had to use different soldering options like; large piece to small, sweat soldering and attaching bails. This project pushed us with increased difficulty and improved our skills to another level.
Kimberly is a very knowledgeable teacher and her class is fun. It’s very social with amicable students. I can recommend this class the those who would like to try learning a new hobby and have fun doing it.

Chris, a student of 7 years, had chosen her favorite piece to showcase and gave a good idea of the techniques learned in class.
I call this piece “Mein Schatz” (My Sweetheart)I chose Sterling silver to create these sweet Giraffes as a pin. My favorite tool is the jewelers saw. I was able to make the body details by cutting through the metal with a 4/0 blade. I wanted a 3-D look, so I soldered a backing on for stability. The heads were lifted up by placing an extra piece of silver under them. I was able to practice my soldering skills with this piece, although soldering has always been difficult for me in the past, I am happy with this project. My inspiration is my daughter and her daughter (my grand-daughter) and the love between them. I hope I was able to stir a little love in peoples heart by creating this piece.

Comission: Rhotolite Garnet and Sterling Silver Gingko Leaves Pendant and Earring Set
Rhodolite garnets galore in my popular “GIngko leaves” setting
Garnets are in focus here as they are the birth stone of the month of January. Garnets are quite special because they come in so many colors. My favorite is the Rhodolite Garnet. Sometimes, depending on how much purple is in it, we call it a grape Garnet. I recently made a pendant, with earrings to match, of Sterling gingko leaves that had a very rich looking 9×6 Pear shaped Rhodolite
Garnet hanging from the bottom. The earrings have 5mm round faceted garnets that match well. They look so pretty together and I know they are worn with love!
Would you like to order a pendant and earring set, or discuss setting alternative stones in this popular “gingko leaves” setting? Send me an email and we can start the creative process together.
Tigilite and Rhodolite Garnet Sterling Silver Pendant
Showcaseing January’s birthstone – the garneT
Amethyst and Tigilite fossil give off scintillating colors…
A grand statement of color and texture, this sterling silver pendant peaks the viewer’s interest and entices them to have a closer look. Embraced in a solid Sterling Silver frame, the faceted Rhodolite purple garnet compliments the internal colors of this unusual Tigilite fossil (tigilite is a trace fossil in limestone). The Blind bail on this pendant accommodates a 4mm chain. (chain sold separately)
Price: $245.
14 kt Yellow Gold and Sterling Silver Sundial Pendant
Spinning Astral impressioNS
The half arch Sterling Silver piece is studded with 14 kt Yellow Gold and swings around a pierced-out golden rotating orb, making a very kinetic pendant. To me, it gives the impression of a sun dial or of a planet spinning on it’s axis, with the spinning sphere and it’s arch that moves from left to right. Price $180.
