Victorian Elegance…The New Fad???
If you wait long enough
anything will come back in style, right? Even if it takes 100 years! I’m not one to move with fads…at all…but as I was becoming attracted to the delicate curves and intricate designs of Victorian style, it seemed to be popping up everywhere! Fashion models and jewelry alike are putting a new twist on antiqued jewelry. I particularly am drawn to it, maybe because I live in a Victorian town so I am constantly awe struck with the amazingly detailed architecture. And maybe as well inspired by the ever so abundant “period pieces” that are bombarding the theaters. But there is something about it, don’t you think? Something so rich and elegant, that makes the eye gaze just a little longer. Something so feminine and lacy about antiqued brass and draping chain that just make you sigh….ahhh that’s beautiful.
Here is a complimentary necklace/earring set I put together that demonstrates the elegance of the victorian era with a modern twist. I used antiqued brass, some vintage wannabe findings and a beautiful natural citirine highlighting the center
Sea Speaks in Visions
I just finished this elaborate seascape piece last night. It is created for a dear friend of mine who has inspired me greately throughout the years. I love the free form wraped abalone including tighter coiles throughout which give it a fresh from the sea appeal. The drop is a mother of pearl, which also has a very organic shape and matches the abalone in an oceanic rhymic way. For the neckline, I twisted three strands together, one of purpley toned pearls and blue apatite, one of blue irredecent sead beads and one of grey silk cord on which I hung thai silver dropletts.

About Summer
hello! Thank you for exploring my site! I have been a developing artist for quite some time and I’m so inspired by the many avenues I can take it. Making jewelry art is one of my passions which first arose from my deep affection for stones and crystals. After the first couple necklaces I made, I realized how energetically I felt more alert, conscious and alive. With every piece I make I bring in healing intentions for the wearer.
My jewelry designs come in random ways. Sometimes abstract colors and vague designs that I elaborate on. And sometimes I have no clue what I am going to do and I just pick out a stone and build it up from there. But I always make my jewelry in a peaceful state of mind, it is a meditation for me.
I spend my days making art, dancing, reading, learning, traveling and exploring myself and the world around me. It is here in this space that I have expanded myself as an artist of all sorts. I am currently living in Northern California, with my lover and a veggie garden. Due to the vast amount of rain and chilly weather, it seemed to be the perfect place to generate the energy and let the gates of creativity flow from my being. From this influx of inspiration, Goddess Adornments was manifested. I am a mixture of all my experiences and then some and such is reflected in my art…some of these highly influential sources are music, other artistic people and endeavors, and fashion. So now I have an eclectic blend of colors, textures and designs coming straight from my heart to bring out the timeless beauty of every goddess. Every stone and crystal, metals and findings are hand picked for optimum allure and quality. I use all natural materials and spend hours perfecting the details of my work. In creating Goddess Adornments I hope to funck-tify, inspire and meet beautiful goddesses everywhere My jewelry designs are ever changing and evolving…as am I…as are you…I now feel more fully in my true self than ever before and this is why I love to reach out to other artists or just anybody doing what they love and show my appreciation. So please feel free to send me links of what you are up to.
