I decided while I was still in college that what I really wanted to do was make jewelry. So, several years later, here I am. I started I Dream of Jewelry in 2004. I primarily use semi-precious stones, pearls, sterling silver, and swarovski crystals. I sell these wares at home parties, by custom order, and on Etsy.com I love doing custom work, as the challenge often helps me come up with pieces that I wouldn't think up on my own. I do several weddings a year, making jewelry for both the bride and the bridal party. Weddings are my favorite work to do. Jewelry makes me happy.
