About the Jewelry:
Cindy collects water polished stones and shell fragments from lake shores, riverbanks, and ocean coasts as she travels exhibiting and selling her jewelry. Antler tips are sourced from shed antlers. Every location yields materials unique to that specific area of the world. These stones, antlers, and shells combined with her handcrafted sterling silver components result in truly one of a kind pieces of jewelry. Cindy's work has been described as organic, natural, soothing, and simple yet elegant. |
