The GEM Experience

The Guided Experience Making custom jewelry was born out of a desire to help others experience the catharsis that comes from creating something with your own two hands and heart- imbuing it with your love and emotion.

This is not a jewelry making workshop.  This isn't a class.  It's an acknowledgement of your emotions.  It's space for you to feel them, honor them, and create a vessel to carry your cherished memories.  It's hands-on, in person custom jewelry.  For more information on the experience, please contact me.
