Welcome
to Cyan Rift Jewelry...
Gorgeous
and ethereal handcrafted artisan jewelry.
Originally
from Barberton, Ohio, I now make my home in Prescott, Arizona where I work full time
as a jewelry designer, moonlight at a great
little bead shop and live with my husband, Chris.
My intention is to design one-of-a-kind pieces that
are light-hearted, whimsical or have an ethereal
feeling while giving great attention to detail, color and texture. My collections include
an unusual
assortment of precious and semi-precious gemstone beads,
coral, spiny oyster shell, pearls, along with metal components from all over the
world! It is my hope that the artistry is resonant enough to
exist as a highly personalized piece of jewelry for the wearer.
To find inspiration, I look to the natural places I love and their intricate design and
color: arduous canyon stone,
rainbow-colored birds, the cyan-colored Sea of Cortez, and many hot springs of
the Southwest. Thus the business trade name, CYAN
RIFT™, which to me represents
beautiful jewelry that rises from the earth and sea floor!
Shopping for the jewelry-making materials can be an art all of its own. I
repeatedly travel to
Tucson to patronize
the local bead shops and internationally renowned gem show. I carefully hand select
each gemstone strand and component from suppliers known for their workmanship, which further assures that
each piece will be high-quality and one of a kind.
My goal also entails providing you with a "store front" that is
well-organized, easy to navigate, clean and updated. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Please feel free to call or email
me.
P.S. to the Cyan Rift jewelry wearer, I recommend wearing it often, with jeans,
evening gowns, or with nothing. I hope it makes you feel beautiful and sends you on a journey . . .
