For years, I have been designing and making jewelry as my creative outlet. I decided to jump into it more during the pandemic, when Turquoise Toad Jewelry was hatched!

I am lucky to live in Colorado with my husband, three terrific kids, and two adorable Siberian cats. Whether it’s gardening, hiking or lazing in the hammock watching the clouds drift by, I love being outdoors. The sights and smells of nature get my creative juices flowing and inspire my work. From necklaces to earrings to bracelets, I make pieces that I feel I would wear (and do!) The beads I use are the finest quality and colors; colors that remind me of the brilliance of my garden or earthiness of Colorado. I specialize in woven glass tile and wrap bracelets, which feel wonderful on the skin. If you’re tactile like me, you’ll love the snakeskin feel of them.

A percentage of my sales supports an issue near-and-dear to my heart, education on and support of transgender youth.
