- I want to tell you that the leather macrame’ & pearl necklace and matching bracelet is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for customizing it for me. They are so unique and beautiful! I wanted to send you a 5 Star (5 out of 5) rating. If there are people who are thinking about these pieces, I want to encourage them to act on it and be assured that these leather macrame’ pieces are quality and even lovelier in person.

I ordered a custom necklace and bracelet set for my mother-in-law's birthday/retirement. It came out BEAUTIFULLY! She was thrilled with the jewelry and so excited that it had been made specifically for her, in the colors she loves. It was exactly what I had hoped for!

We recently purchased some jewelry for our daughter and it turned out to be beautiful!! She said that it was exactly her style. The descriptions that came with the jewelry were very precise. I also acquired a bracelet for my wife and it is beautiful. Can't be happier!!!

- Every semester we participated in field trips and those experiences led to my love of rocks and minerals-I became a rockhound.
- Toward the end of my university experience, I took a geology course in gemology and I was hooked! I am fascinated by their history, crystalline structure, how a trace amount of a mineral will change the color and value of a gem, other influences on gemstone jewelry, art and design, and more.
