About Mary, the Designer
 I’m a bit of an odd duck as the British might say – when someone asks me how I am, I usually tell them I’m short, mean and too damn old to change. If they laugh, I figure I’ve done my job for the day, so to speak. I like to see people enjoy themselves and life. After working for a jewelry company (which sells on a nation-wide television channel) and learning about gemstones and the costs involved and the ultimate cost charged to the public at what still seems to me to be high, I decided to branch out on my own so that regular people like me could actually AFFORD real gemstone jewelry with precious metals.
Now, my jewelry doesn’t feature many faceted gems like most of what you might see on television and at the stores, but it IS gemstone material even so. I use shaped beads in many different gemstone materials with Sterling silver, gold-filled, Niobium, copper and 10K - 14K gold (the last by special order). What I offer is usually not seen on TV. Neither are my prices – I try to keep them affordable so that everyone who wants something pretty can actually still feed their family after getting a little gift for themselves. Take a look and see if there isn’t something you might like for you or someone you love.
