My work consists of sterling silver and semi-precious stones that are unusual in some way, whether it’s shape, color, size or type. I find that the stones have a story to tell and that each piece is a talisman, just waiting for its perfect wearer. When someone finds their unique “Chela piece,” that person and the jewelry somehow take on a new glow. I like to think it’s the healing power of the stone, and the love I put in while creating the piece, that brings the wearer a sense of peace. I can always tell when it’s a perfect match.
