It takes a bold personality and rule-breaking fashion iconoclast to wear non-conformist accessories. Like an explorer, she rejects the beaten path and forges ahead into unknown territory, hungry for the unusual. She fits no mold. Stone beads are often the jewelry of choice for the avant-garde since they offer colors, shapes, and sizes as expressive and unique as herself. Stone jewelry embraces the natural, the unplanned, the lovely “flaws” that are somehow harmonious rather than jarring. It takes bold personality to see these elements of chaos and find the balance and the beauty. She looks into each inclusion, each striae, each facet and finds a story ready to leap out. She is part of that story too.
