Welcome to Sand's Stones

Hand-made jewelry, custom designed and ready-to-wear, classroom instruction, and jewelry-making kits for the creative soul...

Creations

At Sand's Stones, I design Lush Garden Necklaces with a palette of colors, textures, and shapes using a vintage or contemporary theme. A ready-to-wear Lush Garden Necklace blooming with crystals, pearls, vintage glass and semi-precious stones is available in a variety of designs and offers the convenience of adjustable length. These pieces are feel-good, look-great jewelry - they are easy to wear and can be dressed-up or dressed-down. In any season, these garden necklaces sparkle and burst with color. Here are a few of my many favorites (click for a larger image):
